Acknowledgements

We would like to acknowledge the useful comments received from the reviewers of the first draft of this publication: Dr Barney Foran (Resource Futures Group, CSIRO, Canberra) and Dr Beat Huser (Environment Waikato, Hamilton). In particular, their comments enabled us to fine-tune the presentation of the report and hopefully make it more accessible to a wider audience.

We would also like to thank Kirsty Johnston and Robyn Reid for managing this project and the related work on the ecological footprint Calculator. We are also grateful to the Ministry for the Environment for providing funding for this report, which enabled us to expeditiously implement the first recommendation of the report Headline Indicators for Tracking Progress to Sustainability in New Zealand.

Finally, we would like to thank Panjama Ampanthong, Vicki Martin and Ann Flintoft for their assistance in compiling this report for publication.
