"GDP (gross domestic product) is the aggregated added value of all money-based economic activities. It is the most widely known and used measure of macro-economic activity. Indeed, GDP has become the primary indicator for overall societal development and progress in general. There is growing international recognition of the inadequacy of GDP as an indicator of social progress, social inclusion, environmental sustainability and resource efficiency. I support this report which calls for the development of clear and measurable indicators that take account of climate change, biodiversity, resource efficiency and social inclusion. It further underlines the need to measure quality of life in societies, considering that achieving and sustaining quality of life involves important, consensual factors such as health, education, culture, employment, housing, and environmental conditions. It also fully supports the establishment of a solid legal framework for the European Environmental Economic Accounts as a positive step in the ‘GDP and beyond’ process, and, indeed, welcomes the Commission initiative to present an index for environmental pressure, to be submitted alongside GDP."@en1
