Editing Genuine progress indicator (section)

==In legislative decisions==
The best-known{{Dubious|date=September 2021}} attempts to apply the concepts of GPI to legislative decisions are probably the ''GPI Atlantic'',<ref>{{cite web|url=http://gpiatlantic.org|title=GPI Atlantic|work=gpiatlantic.org}}</ref> an index, not an indicator, invented by Ronald Colman for [[Atlantic Canada]], who explicitly avoids aggregating the results obtained through research to a single number, alleging that it keeps decisions makers in the dark; the Alberta GPI<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://ww12.fiscallygreen.ca/gpi/index.php|title=fiscallygreen.ca|website=ww12.fiscallygreen.ca|accessdate=14 April 2023}}</ref> created by ecological economist Mark Anielski to measure the long-term economic, social and [[environmental sustainability]] of the province of [[Alberta]] and the "environmental and sustainable development indicators" used by the [[Government of Canada]] to measure its own progress to achieving well-being goals.

The [[Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators]] program is an effort to justify [[state services]] in GPI terms.{{Citation needed|date=September 2021}}  It assigns the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development, an officer in the [[Auditor-General of Canada]]'s office, to perform the analysis and report to the [[House of Commons of Canada|House of Commons]]. However, Canada continues to state its overall budgetary targets in terms of reducing its [[debt to GDP ratio]], which implies that GDP increase and debt reduction in some combination are its main priorities.

In the [[European Union|European Union (EU)]] the Metropole efforts and the [[London Health Observatory]] methods are equivalents focused mostly on urban lifestyle.

The EU and Canadian efforts are among the most advanced in any of the [[G8]] or [[OECD]] nations,{{Citation needed|date=September 2021}} but there are parallel efforts to measure [[quality of life]] or [[standard of living]] in [[health]] (not strictly [[wealth]]) terms in all [[developed country|developed nation]]s. This has also been a recent focus of the [[labour movement]].
