• IBGE will publish each two years reports on Sustainable Development Indicators from Brazil.
• 2002 - 50 indicators ; 2004 - 59 indicators
• 2008 - 60 indicators • Framework - CSD 2001 without sub-themes
• Environmental Dimension– 22 indicators – 6 themes
• Social Dimension– 19 indicators – 6 themes
• Economic dimension– 12 indicators – 2 themes
• Institutional dimension– 6 indicators – 2 themes
National SDI - Reports
Using the proposed framework in the background paper the existing indicators at the national report are.
• Mitigation• GHG emissions
• GHG emissions by sector Go ...• Industrial consumption of ozone-depleting substances Go ...
•Energy• Energy intensity total Go ...• Participation of renewable sources in energy supply Go ...
• Industry and product use• Mineral consumption per capita Go ...• Usable life of mineral reserves Go ...

TAILÂNDIA – Conclusions
2001Forest area – 3.117,82 Km2 = 70,37%
Anthropic area – 1.312,49 Km2 = 29,63%
2006Forest area – 2.544,83 Km2 = 57,44%
Anthropic area – 1.885,48 Km2 = 42,56%
Using the forest inventory data – mean 262,37 m3/ha - is possible estimate:• volume of wood extracted from Tailândia 2002 / 2006 = 15 millions m3
• IBGE in cooperation with the Planning Ministry and other governmental agencies is creating a Geographical Information System - GIS Brazil - at 1:1 000 000 scale, according the National Spatial Data Infrastructure, that will contemplate shapes with environmental information.
• At local level the City of Rio de Janeiro has made an in deep evaluation of the climate change impacts

• There was not directly relationship between SDI and NSSD but in 2008 IBGE was contacted by the Planning Ministry that intents tostart a process of territorial planing including the sustainability dimension, using the National SDI as bases to make some commitments between the Federal Government and the Government at the States Level.
• The works has been started 3 month ago and now we propose a subset of 45 indicators, in 4 dimensions, that will be used to build targets for each indicator, at states level, and asses the achievement of the sustainable development targets.
• It is not properly a NSSD (at least not with this name) but is better because includes the sustainable development principles (and indicators) into the General Planning for Territorial Development
National SDI and NSSD
The especial configuration of IBGE (like INEGI in Mexico), that includes the statistical and geographical information into the same institution, is an advantage in the treatment of this issues in an integrated form.Now, we are working to improve your capacity to produce, recompile and organize the environmental information, in physical aspects and to start working on environmental-economic accounting on land use to be followed by forest accounting.
