Strengths and weaknesses of common sustainability indices for multidimensional systems. (2008, background): “The index can be used to monitor a system over time if the index is calculated repeatedly with new data (Wackernagel et al., 2004; van Vuuren and Bouwman, 2005).”
Human appropriation of natural capital: A comparison of ecological footprint and water footprint analysis (2009, background): “Wackernagel et al. (2004b) conclude that the two approaches can be applied to address different research questions.”
National Footprint and Biocapacity Accounts 2005: The underlying calculation method (2005, background): “Complementary papers discuss analytical options, show applications and discuss limitations and potential for improvement (Wackernagel et al., 2004a,b).”
Progress towards sustainability? What the conceptual framework of material and energy flow accounting (MEFA) can offer (2004, background): “calculates the area needed to sustain the resource consumption of a given population (Wackernagel and Rees, 1996; Wackernagel et al., 2002; Monfreda et al., 2004; Wackernagel et al., 2004).”
Establishing national natural capital accounts based on detailed Ecological Footprint and biological capacity assessments (2004, methodology): “Possible applications are discussed in the follow-up papers published in this issue (Wackernagel et al., 2004a, b).”
Taking the "U" out of Kuznets: a comprehensive analysis of the EKC and environmental degradation. (2009, background): “The EF estimates the amount of natural capital (measured in biologically productive area) needed to support the resource demand and waste absorption requirements of a population and is expressed in global hectares or hectares of globally standardized bioproductivity (Wackernagel et al., 2004a,b).”
Beyond GDP: Measuring and achieving global genuine progress (2013, background): “It is calculated by considering not only the biological yield but also the technology and institutions available to take advantage of that yield (Wackernagel et al., 2004).”
