Abstract

One of the possible approaches to assess the level of the sustainable development is to combine the Footprint Indicators, allowing also for the available biocapacity, with the Human Development Indicators. This approach was used to assess the sustainable development path of the European Union (EU) and its countries. The EU countries achieving the higher levels of the human development also show the higher levels of the Ecological Footprint. However, the characteristics of the economies are different, especially those determining the Ecological Footprint and some outliers in the group can be found. The relations between the human development and the available biocapacity are not so straightforward. Allowing for inequality as regards the level of human development, the social dimension of the sustainable development shows significant losses in several developed countries.
