In a research project lasting several years, a sustainability monitor has been developed for South Tyrol, Italy and is now on-line.

A total of 74 indicators relating to the environment, society and the economy have been developed to make sustainability quantifiable and to show the situation in the various municipalities with regard to sustainable development. The set of indicators has been adapted to the specifics of a mountain region but serves equally well for purposes of national and international comparison.
The data on the website are updated regularly so that the situation in the municipalities can be monitored continuously. An additional goal is to tell the public what sustainability is all about and to indicate the fields in which the actions of every individual can make a contribution to sustainable development. A trilingual (de/it/en) book entitled "Sustainable South Tyrol?" has also been published containing a set of indicators with data relating to the ecological, societal and economic situation in all the municipalities in the region.
