The demands placed on land, water, energy and other natural
resources are exacerbated as the world population continues to
increase together with the expectations of economic growth. This,
combined with concerns over environmental change, presents a set of
scientific, policy and management issues that are critical for
sustainability."
Resource Accounting for Sustainability Assessment: The nexus
between energy, food, water and land use "offers an approach for
multi-scale, integrated assessment of this nexus. It presents a
comprehensive and original method of resource accounting for
integrated sustainability assessments. The approach is illustrated
with three detailed case studies: the islands of Mauritius, the
Indian state of Punjab, and the energy economy of South Africa. The
relationships between flows of goods, services and materials in
these case studies offer valuable insights. The book provides a
much needed quality control on the information used in deliberative
processes about policy and planning activities.
This innovative book will be of interest to researchers,
students and practitioners in the fields of sustainability science,
international development, industrial ecology, sustainable resource
management, geography and ecological economics.
