Abstract
Ecological Footprint (EF) is the top to bottom counterpart of the Life Cycle Assessment, which is now broadly utilized for evaluating environmental load of countries, regions and masses. On the other hand, Human Development Index (HDI) is a broad indicator than GDP to measure level of living standards through life expectancy, education and literacy, and the ability to purchase needed goods and services. Available data of countries indicates that there is a considerable correlation between EF and HDI. In this paper the authors will reveal indicators other than HDI which needed to evaluate sustainable human development, taking EF as the independent determinant.
