Sustainable development is still seen by authorities as an abstract
concept. Local Environmental Auditing will help put it into
practice. The book provides a comprehensive guide to monitoring the
state of the local environment and establishing the impacts of
local actions on global issues, and shows how current local
authority policy and practice can be adapted to recognize
environmental priorities. The authors provide both a guide to and
an assessment of the subject: they link the processes with the
issues, with specific information on carrying out the audit
(including checklists, case studies and standards) and a detailed
discussion of the issues and choices which local authorities may
face. Clearly structured and accessible, this will be an essential
handbook, both for local government departments and other local
organizations, and students in a wide range of subjects, including
environmental science and health, town planning, urban and rural
studies, social science and politics.
