Indicators of Sustainable Development |
| | Sustainable Development Home | Indicators Home | Introduction | |
Public transport fares rose by about 75 per cent in real terms between 1974 and 2002. In contrast, the real cost of motoring has remained virtually unchanged despite an increase in the real cost of fuel over the last decade.
Although understanding of sustainable development issues has increased, the proportion of people who had heard of the term "sustainable development" remained the same in 2001 as in1996-7, at around a third.
The proportion of women in public appointments and senior positions has increased significantly. However, there is still some way to go before parity with men is reached.
Between 1990-1 and 1999-2000, energy efficiency in the UK government's non-devolved estate improved by 17.8 per cent.
