10 years of experience in the systematization of indicators for
the sustainability of development: Costa Rica
Prof. Edgar E. Gutiérrez-Espeleta, Ph. D.

o A group is formed at the University of Costa Rica in order to measure the sustainability of the agriculture and natural resource sectors in Latin America and the Caribbean (gtz/IICA).
1993
Conceptual axes:
Productivity
Equity
Resilience
Stability

1994
o The National Commission for Environmental Statistics is created (inter-institutional): CONEA
In 1996 the first national workshop on Environmental Statistics was held

o Establishment of the team that set forth the State of the Nation in Sustainable Human Development Project—sponsored by UNDP, the National Council of Presidents of Public Universities and the Ombudsman’s Office
The first report is published in 1995, and since then, annually
The conceptual framework focuses on five components:a) Equity and social integrationb) Opportunities, stability and economic solvencyc) Harmony with natured) Strengthening of democracy and good governancee) Primary relationships, social relationships and values
1994
![Page 6: Development Observatory University of Costa Rica Dr. Edgar E. Gutierrez-Espeleta.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649f115503460f94c23f9a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Building upon the CONEA initiative, the National Planning Ministry offers to institutionalize this commission within the National System for Sustainable Development
The Technical Advisory Commission for the coordination and generation of information for sustainable development is thus created (INFODES)
It ceases to function in 1998 due to lack of funding ( = political backing)
1997
![Page 7: Development Observatory University of Costa Rica Dr. Edgar E. Gutierrez-Espeleta.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649f115503460f94c23f9a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The National Council for Sustainable Development was not able to operate, and therefore, there hasn’t been a conceptual framework for sustainable development in Costa Rica, yet
Under this situation, it is proposed to establish a program for democratizing the access to
information on national development
1997

Creation of the Development Observatory at the University of Costa Rica, with support from Capacity 21/
UNDP and the Legislative Assembly
1997
It currently has four programs:
a) Quality of lifeb) Environment and developmentc) Software and methodology development d) Sustainable development network

Among other things:
Define a minimum set of environmental variables in order to initiate the National System of
Environmental Information

Printed publication with some 180 statistics and indicators on environmental resources and socioeconomic factors. The data are presented in quinquennial historical series from 1970 to 1995, and annually from that year to the year 2000.
Work on environmental statistics produced under UNEP GEO project

Development of UNEP regional data baseDevelopment of UNEP regional data base
Regional and UN sources have been used
Sources are specialized in the matter (for instance, although FAO publishes population data, this organization is used as reference only on statistics on agriculture, forests and fisheries)
Sometimes, even though there is information, access to it is restricted. Decision has been made to change regional sources for global ones, for which access is less restricted
