Benchmarking SustainabilityInformation needs

• Starting Point Regions pursuing strategies of
  sustainable development
• Information needs - Where do regions stand?
• - How do they perform?
• - What impact do policies have on this
  performance in
• all three areas of sustainability, namely
  the regional
• economy, the regional environment and
  regional society?
• - Are there best performing regions to be
  followed?
• BAK answer - Proposal of a Project within the
  Interreg IIIB Alpine
• Space Programme for monitoring the economic,
  
• ecological and social sustainability at the
  regional level
• - Presentation of preliminary concepts and
  results within
• the framework of the IBC at the IBF 2002
