Measuring Environmental Degradation is a unique book that provides
a comprehensive yet concise overview of the key issues of
environmental significance addressed as part of the Eurostat
'Environmental Pressure Indicators Project'. The book is part of
the 'Towards Environmental Pressure Indicators for the EU' (TEPI)
series that has resulted from the project. The book is divided into
ten distinct chapters, each one concentrating on a particular
environmental policy field, ranging from ozone layer depletion to
waste and water pollution. The contributors, each experts in their
chosen discipline, provide background information on the main
environmental pressures faced by the EU, identify the practical
actions necessary to reduce these pressures and reflect upon the
process of selecting an imaginative list of pressure indicators.
The indicators are intended to describe these pressures, in a
highly aggregated format, in order to communicate environmental
information clearly and effectively whilst retaining scientific
soundness. The book extends discussion by considering the expected
benefits of communicating trends in environmental pressures to
policymakers and the wider public, and considering whether central
political intervention is necessary to deal with problem pressures.
As well as offering a valuable insight into the methodological
issues and processes concerned with the development of pressure
indicators, the book outlines the international framework for each
policy field. The work benefits from the diversity of views and
approaches proposed by the contributors to create an extensive
overview of the subject. This original and topical collection of
essays will make valuable reading for researchers and students of
environmental studies, environmental policymakers in both
governmental and non-governmental institutions as well as anyone
with an interest in current environmental issues.
