Energy Indicators for Sustainable Development: Guidelines and Methodologies
IAEA, 14 April 2005. STI/PUB/1222, 161 pp.; 1 figures; 2005, ISBN 92-0-116204-9.
This publication presents a set of energy indicators for sustainable development and is a versatile analytical tool for countries to track their progress on energy for sustainable development. The thematic framework, guidelines, methodologies and energy indicators set out in this publication reflect the expertise of five international agencies and organizations (International Atomic Energy Agency, United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, International Energy Agency, Eurostat and European Environment Agency) recognized worldwide as leaders in energy and environmental statistics and analysis. General guidelines and specific methodology sheets for 30 energy indicators are outlined in this report for statisticians, analysts, policy makers and academics to use in their efforts to analyse the effects of energy policies on the social, economic and environmental dimensions of sustainable development.

Calculator for the Indicator of Sustainable Development for Radioactive Waste Managements
IAEA Division of Nuclear Fuel Cycle and Waste Technology (NEFW) within the Department of Nuclear Energy developped an Indicator of Sustainable Development (ISD) for the management of radioactive waste (RW). The ISD-RW: recognizes the shortcomings of a purely volume based approach for an indicator, is a single, dimensionless indicator that includes a consideration of waste volumes in its derivation, and provides a measure of both the current status of radioactive waste management at any point in time and the progress made over time towards the sustainability of radioactive waste management. This measure can be at the national level for a country or it can be at sectoral levels, such as nuclear applications (e.g., medical and industrial applications).
