dc.description.abstract | Abstract:
Norway has a long history in trying to develop management tools for sustainable development. From
the early development of natural resources accounts in the 1980’s, through discussions of the
usefulness of indices like “green GDP” to efforts of developing sustainable development indicators,
experiences have been gained. The paper seeks to both describe the landscape and discussions
associated with the key terms, and to communicate some lessons drawn from the Norwegian
experiences. The conclusion focuses on the fact that whatever information is collected and organised
to support the relevant decision-making processes, the final outcome should always be judged in
terms of its impacts on policy processes. Thus, we issue a warning against large-scale development
of information systems, without due regard to the final utilisation of the output.
