The Imperatives of Sustainable Development (2017, neutral): “Moreover, we argue that these three moral imperatives set constraints on human behaviour. Thus, we agree with John Rawls (1999) that the priority of following moral imperatives (Rawls’s moral imperative was justice, as we will return to soon) sets the constraints that individuals need to comply with”
Choosing the most appropriate sustainability assessment tool (2012, background): “Finally, the design of sustainability indicators able to capture/reflect meaningfully these stakeholder values, particularly altruistic values, remains a big challenge (Dahl, 2012).”
Indicator-based assessments of progress towards the sustainable development goals (SDGs): a case study from the Arab region (2017, background): “Numerous organisations and countries have adopted sets of sustainable development indicators (SDIs) and composite indices (such as the Index of Sustainable Economic Welfare or the Inclusive Wealth Index) to track progress towards sustainable development, many of which have been reviewed elsewhere (B”
Global SDGs Assessments: Helping or Confusing Indicators? (2018, background): “Thus the most significant effect of an indicator, particularly early in its adoption, can simply be communication—making a problem visible, sensitizing decision-makers and the public and expanding the basis for decision-making [4].”
Assessing national progress and priorities for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): experience from Australia (2019, background): “2015; Mayer 2008; Dahl 2012; United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs 2007; Hák et al.”

An interdisciplinary study on indicators: A comparative review of quality-of-life, macroeconomic, environmental, welfare and sustainability indicators (2013, background): “Parallel to the stream of producing sets of sustainability indicators is the tendency towards the formulation of sustainability composite indicators (Krajnc and Glavič, 2005a,b; Dahl, 2012).”
