Decision-makers increasingly seek to design environmental and
development policies that will support sustainable development.
Thus, practical tools to help formulate sustainable development
policies and clear methods to assess their acceptability and
effectiveness are urgently needed. This book contributes to meeting
these needs by presenting both analytical and empirical aspects of
decision-making processes. The authors explore the methods for
integrating environmental and social sciences to support
participatory policy design, implementation and assessment of
sustainable development policies. These methods are applied, richly
illustrated and discussed with reference to several case studies
from various regions of the world. Although each chapter has a
distinct focus, they all contribute to a clearer understanding of
how sustainable development is perceived and assessed by society.
The book is interdisciplinary, emphasising how the integration of a
wide set of disciplines and stakeholder perspectives into the
policy-making process can help to improve the perception of
sustainable development policies. The authors argue that there
should be greater transparency in the processes of modelling and
integrated assessment in order to increase the meaningful
participation of all stakeholders involved in the decision-making
process. By deliberately avoiding technical jargon, this book will
appeal to a broad audience including environmental, resource and
development economists. It will also be of interest to anyone with
a scientific or policy perspective in the measurement and
assessment of sustainable development.
