We argue that increases in clean energy intensity (clean energy per dollar of GDP), decreases in carbon intensity (carbon emission per dollar of GDP), and water intensity (water used per dollar of GDP) significantly affect sustainability. Supplementary, we compare our proposed index with macroeconomic indicators like GDP, Income per capita and other development indices such as the Human Development Index and the GINI, showing marked differences, which we interpret as unexplored areas for sustainable gains.24 páginasPDFengOpen AccessWorking paperQ56 - Environment and Development; Environment and Trade; Sustainability; Environmental Accounts and Accounting; Environmental Equity; Population GrowthSustainabilityClimate changeEnergy useResource depletionDesarrollo sostenible -- Índices de medición -- Energías limpiasIndicadores macroeconómicos -- PIBAcceso abiertoAtribucion-NoComercial-CompartirIgual CC BY-NC-SA 4.0Cambio climático
