Summary
The Integrative Concept of Sustainable Development (ICoS) was developed through an intensive process in order to operationalise the guiding rules of sustainable development in an interdisciplinary team. Through its three general sustainability goals and 25 sustainability rules, ICoS establishes that indicators are part of a step-wise, systematic, and consistent construction that links theoretical abstraction to deliberative action: the political and societal practice of sustainable development (Barton & Kopfmüller, 2012, p. 84). The application of the concept is presented through two examples: a completed project in Santiago de Chile, and a project currently being developed, which will enable the calculation of regional sustainable energy balances.
