Inclusive Wealth Report 2012: Measuring Progress Towards Suatainability
The primary objective of the Inclusive Wealth Report is to provide quantitative information and analysis that present a long-term perspective on human well-being and measures of sustainability. In addition, the main objectives of the IWR are: • to undertake a preliminary analysis of whether countries were on a sustainable path, and provide national governments with a metric to assess transitions towards the so-called “Green Economy”; • to carry out a comprehensive analysis of the various components of wealth by country and their link to economic development, highlighting in particular the importance of natural capital; to become an indicator of progress towards sustainable development with the production of biennial reports monitoring the well-being of countries. In the long-term, we expect inclusive wealth to become an important criterion in assessments of societal progress; • to help countries formulate and stimulate policies based on the notion of asset portfolio management, wherein nations follow plans to comprehensively manage diverse assets – natural, manufactured, and human – to create productive and sustainable economic bases for the future, and emphasize how an inclusive wealth report can be used by nations to guide their investment strategies for sustainability; and • to highlight where extra research is needed to make the Inclusive Wealth Index and the report a useful tool for economic, environmental and social planning.
