IndicatorSignal that reveals progress (or lack thereof) towards objectives; means of measuring what actually happens against what has been planned in terms of quantity, quality and timeliness. An indicator is a quantitative or qualitative variable that provides a simple and reliable basis for assessing achievement, change or performance.Source: Handbook on monitoring and evaluating for results. UNDP, Evaluation Office, New York, 2002.

Selecting Meaningful Sustainability Indicators
Five Key Questions:
1. What is your intended sustainable outcome? What do you
value?
2. Do the indicators you’ve selected measure progress toward
your goal/outcome?
3. Is your indicator clear and easy to understand?
4. Is the indicator based on accessible data?
5. Are you collecting too many indicators?

Selecting Meaningful Sustainability Indicators
Often considered unverifiable and subjective. However, if properly developed and interpreted, qualitative indicators play a significant role in identifying constraints to implementation and obstacles to success, which may not be readily apparent. i.e. conducting focus groups with targeted questions leading to insightful responses.
QuantitativeObjective and verifiable metrics that are represented by a number. Typically easier to collect. i.e. campus greenhouse gas emissions.
Proxy/Indirect An indirect measure that can represent the impact. i.e. Number of people that subscribe to our campaign emails or number of green office certifications indicate levels of engagement.
