Natural capital, the sum of a country's assets, from forests to fossil fuels and
minerals, declined 46% in Brazil and 31% in India, according to a new
"Inclusive Wealth Indicator" designed to augment GDP as a measure of
economic progress.
"The work on Brazil and India illustrates why Gross Domestic Product is
inadequate and misleading as an index of economic progress from a longterm perspective.
A country could completely exhaust all its natural resources while posting
positive GDP growth. We need an indicator that estimates the wealth of
nations natural, human and manufactured and ideally even the social and
ecological constituents of human well-being."
