Reflections on development indicators and environmental challenges.

Óscar Emerson Zúñiga

In recent decades, the list of concerns which accompanies human existence has donned a new item: the effects lifestyles are having on the ecosystem due mainly to the fact that the changes introduced are of such magnitude that not only is a kind of tropical frog or a tiger that inhabits floodplain systems at risk. There is a pressure factor submitting millions of human beings located in the most diverse, but at the same time most fragile, ecosystems to a high degree of vulnerability. This moral concern extends to the fields of politics and epistemology where, from the perspective of ecological economics, the relevance of existing indicators for development drawn from neoclassical economics is being questioned, as an expression of a deeper discussion of the relationship of society-nature.
