The Land Use Change and Agriculture Program of IIASA is a partner in the IN-STREAM project, launched in October 2008. The project will run for three years.

IN-STREAM (Integration of Mainstream Economic Indicators with Sustainable Development Objectives) is a collaborative research project to better integrate mainstream economic indicators with sustainable development objectives.

It is funded through the European Commission Directorate General for Research with Grant Agreement No. 2111759.

Key project objectives include:

• Performing the required quantitative and qualitative assessments in order to link mainstream economic indicators with key well-being and sustainability indicators.
• Providing insight into the synergies and trade-offs implicit in Europe’s pursuit of economic growth and environmental sustainability.
• Recommending new indicator approaches (and sets of indicators) based on their robustness, feasibility and suitability to EU policy objectives.
• In consultation with stakeholders, developing strategies for implementing these approaches.
