Decision making in environmental projects is typically a complex
and confusing process characterized by trade-offs between
socio-political, environmental, and economic impacts. Comparative
Risk Assessment (CRA) is a methodology applied to facilitate
decision making when various activities compete for limited
resources. CRA has become an increasingly accepted research tool
and has helped to characterize environmental profiles and
priorities on the regional and national level. CRA may be
considered as part of the more general but as yet quite academic
field of multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA). Considerable
research in the area of MCDA has made available methods for
applying scientific decision theoretical approaches to
multi-criteria problems, but its applications, especially in
environmental areas, are still limited. The papers show that the
use of comparative risk assessment can provide the scientific basis
for environmentally sound and cost-efficient policies, strategies,
and solutions to our environmental challenges.
