The Human Sustainable Development Index (HSDI) of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Program (IGBP) and the University of the United Nations is an indicator of prosperity for countries . The HSDI was introduced in 2010 to replace the Human Development Index (HDI), which is 20 years older .

The difference with the HDI is that the per capita greenhouse gas - emissions (in the form of CO ₂ equivalents ) as an indicator of prosperity as persistent a country under the consideration of increasing scarcity of fossil raw materials (see. Peak oil is).
