A number of tools for environmental analysis and decision support
have been developed over time, including life-cycle assessment,
substance-flow analysis, environmental impact and risk assessment.
Many of these tools have different economic systems - a product, a
regional substance-flow, a factory or emission pattern etc.- as
their object. This book aims to reconcile and unify the many
different tools for environmental analysis and decision-support
into one meta-tool. The subject of this study revolves around two
problems: the attribution problem - which environmental problems
are to be attributed to which economic activities; and the position
problem - what is the relative position of a number of the various
tools for environmental decision-support? Both these problems can
be resolved by the construction of a general framework and specific
methodological steps within the framework. The main focus of this
study is on the methodology. By providing a common framework for
topics often treated in isolation this book enables experts from
many fields, including scholars of environmental, resource and
ecological economics, environmental science as well as researchers
and professionals within industrial ecology, to understand the full
depth and range of the material.
