Prioritization

32 headline indicators for 8 main indicator domains were proposed and 60 experts (governments, academia, NGOs, provate sector) were asked to prioritize the proposed indicators and assess their feasibility using a 3 digit Likert scale

10 indicators classified as high priority, 12 indicators as medium priority and 10 indicators as low priority

21

Priority Indicators

Material, energy, and water that fuel economic development and human wellbeing in Asia

The emission cost of growth and wellbeing Using Asia’s natural resources most efficiently

(resource productivity) The water for Asia’s food production Emissions for producing Asia’s energy The materials for the consumer goods The materials for Asia’s housing and infrastructure Emission for getting around Material footprint of services The material, energy, and water for consumption The emission cost of consumption
