MATERIAL F LOWS: A USTRIA (original) (raw)

Abstract

sparkles

AI

This report discusses the critical need for comprehensive metrics to document material flows in industrial economies, serving as complements to traditional monetary indicators like GDP. It highlights the environmental limitations posed by economic growth due to material inputs and waste outputs, underlining the importance of developing new indicators for monitoring progress towards sustainable development.
