Action 2

The Interagency Working Group on Sustainable Development Indicators, working with human service providers and community-based indicator projects, should develop indicators that can better measure social capital and local capacity. There are several measures of social capital. One is the type and frequency of interactions within and outside the community. Examples are inventories of civic associations that provide information on members including numbers and characteristics such as age, gender, race, and disabilities. Such inventories can show frequency of meetings, decision-making processes, finances, and services provided to members and nonmembers. Another measurement is the impact of various types of social capital on the ability to reach sustainable development goals. This effort should, at a minimum, examine each of these measures of social capital.

Also, believe indicators

Also, believe indicators should be developed to assess the sustainability of urban energy system and enable comparative evaluations among municipalities and cities. Development of such energy and environmental indicators also will enable the development of urban-scale modeling protocols that can assist municipal planning agencies and professional developers in evaluating alternative development scenarios, alternative energy architecture and technology innovation nodes.
