Sustainable development of the country, considered as a Constitutional Principle of the Republic of Poland, defined in the Environmental Protection Act as the "socio-economic development integrating political, economic and social actions, balanced with environmental protection and permanence of basic natural processes in order to ensure the possibility of satisfying the basic needs of individual communities or citizens in both the present generation and future generations". Due to the absence of Polish National Strategy for Sustainable Development coordinating policies related to sustainable development, the process of monitoring can be implemented using a set of indicators selected on the basis of principles and objectives written down in the national documents of strategic nature. The publication Sustainable Development Indicators for Poland 2015 presents a proposal of Polish official statistics in terms of a set of indicators to monitor sustainable development of the country. The indicators are grouped in four domains: social, economic, environmental, and institutional-political. Areas were differentiated within the domains, reflecting the objectives and priorities of sustainable development contained in the national strategic documents. The main part of the publication contains an analytic description of sustainable development indicators of the country enriched with tables and charts containing data for the years 2004-2014. Data for Poland are compared with data for the European Union and individual Member States. Descriptions of indicators are preceded by a short indicator profile containing not only the definitions but basic methodological explanations and information about the importance of the indicator for sustainable development as well. The set of elaborated indicators will be developed in subsequent years subject to further work on updating the scope of measures to adapt to the existing strategic documents and the selection of indicators most fully reflecting the idea of sustainable development in national conditions.

We would like to present the publication ”Sustainable Development Indicators for Poland” showing results of works conducted within the project “Support the Development of Indicator Sets for Monitoring National SD Strategies – Developing and Implementing a Polish Set of SD Indicators” realized according to the agreement concluded between the European Commission and the Central Statistical Office. Basic aim of the project was to elaborate a set of indicators for monitoring sustainable development of the country. Sustainable development of the country, accepted as a Constitutional Principle of the Republic of Poland, has been defined in the Law on Environmental Protection as such a socio-economic development, in which the process of integrating political, economic and social actions occurs, taking into account preservation of the equilibrium of nature and stability of basic natural processes, to guarantee the possibility of fulfilling basic needs of societies or citizens not only of the present generation, but for future generations as well. In Poland there is a lack of separate sustainable development strategy of the nation, nevertheless there are numerous strategic documents defining – in a long-term perspective – socio-economic aims and directions of actions according to the rule of stable and sustainable development, taking into consideration social, economic and ecological cohesion; these aims and directions have become the basis for choosing indicators and monitoring their realization. The set of indicators worked out by authors of the project should become the basis for further works aiming at updating the range of indicators and searching for indicators which would illustrate well the idea of sustainability, particularly under conditions of elaborating new strategic documents.

The edition comprises a broad set of information characterising socio-economic potential of powiats and cities with powiat status. The range of presented domains is similiar to those included in publications ”Statistical Yearbook of the Slaskie Voivodship” and ”Slaskie Voivodship - Subregions, Powiats, Gminas”
