Abstract:

Gross domestic product as an indicator of wealth and therefore quality of life have long been criticised. GDP places too much emphasis on consumption and ignores wealth distribution. Importantly it also takes no account of environmental issues. This article considers the development of an integrated environmental sustainability index and its application in the case of the Czech Republic.

Keywords: Sustainable Development; Czech Republic
