Monitoring the environmental sustainability of countries through the strong environmental sustainability index

Arkaitz Usubiaga-Liano et al.

Summary: The Strong Environmental Sustainability Index (SESI) is a comprehensive metric based on the Environmental Sustainability Gap (ESGAP) framework, aiming to provide countries with an indicator to measure environmental sustainability. By aggregating 21 indicators, SESI reveals impaired natural capital functions in several European countries, particularly with indicators related to pollution and ecosystem health performing poorly. The results of the index are sensitive to assumptions in the normalization, weighting, and aggregation processes.

Time for Science-Based National Targets for Environmental Sustainability: An Assessment of Existing Metrics and the ESGAP Framework

Arkaitz Usubiaga-Liano et al.

Summary: Despite the overwhelming scientific evidence of environmental degradation, there is a gap between the urgency of the crisis and policy measures. Current lack of robust metrics for monitoring environmental sustainability led to the proposal of the ESGAP framework, which aims to embed strong sustainability and science-based targets in national policies.
