Abstract: Measuring a country’s welfare and subsequently ranking it with respect to other states is becoming increasingly popular and also useful. In spite of the diversified portfolio of indicators available to assess a country’s welfare, not all of them look towards the community, a sustainable future and the environment. An interesting question arises: to what extent do the most important welfare indicators account for the environmental component? This study aims to critically analyse the most important welfare indicators from an environmental perspective so as to identify appropriate tools for measuring the sustainable welfare of a country
