This paper is aimed at policy level discussions, but also as an aid to civil society to push for changes necessary to take Indian economy, society, and polity towards the goal of human well-being with ecological sustainability as one fulcrum. It provides a context of the poverty-development-equity-environment linkages in India, comments on India’s implementation of MDG7, and describes the key conceptual and implementational gaps in achieving this goal. It then discusses a possible post-2015 framework that combines sustainability and human well-being, that could be applied globally, including its key principles. The paper then delineates goals and targets relating to sustainability, including key linkages with other goals and targets, outlines key indicators for these goals/targets, and lists some tools to help measure these indicators. Finally, it outlines some main challenges facing the achievement of such a framework, and some next steps that could be taken.
