In this authoritative book, leading international experts examine
the use of scenario analyses and modelling in environmental
assessments, highlighting their potential uses in making
evidence-based decisions to address the risks and adverse impacts
of rapid environmental change such as global warming and the loss
of biodiversity and ecosystem services. In addition to theoretical
and conceptual issues, contributors analyse the latest research on
the applications of scenarios and models, and discuss the
opportunities and challenges in using them for policy relevant
research and action. Chapters include in-depth case studies from
Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North and South America as well as
those with a global or regional focus, providing a comprehensive
review of the available tools and frameworks for conducting
environmental assessments in diverse contexts. This book offers a
roadmap for strengthening the science policy interface for
environmental decision-making. Environmental Assessments will be
crucial reading for scholars, postgraduate students, practitioners
and policy makers working in ecological economics and ecology,
biodiversity and ecosystem services, climate change and natural
resources. It will be particularly useful for those working for
international and intergovernmental agencies, national governments,
businesses and NGOs looking to make informed decisions about
responses to environmental change.
