Sustainability assessment is now emerging as a more transparent; comprehensive; integrated and far-sighted approach to decision making. Its basic demand is that all significant undertakings must make a positive contribution to sustainability. To apply this test; decision makers need criteria based on the core requirements of sustainability and the particularities of the context. As well; they need appropriately designed public processes; guidance on the weighing of alternatives; trade-offs and compromises; a supportive policy framework; suitable tools and inspiring examples. Drawing from transdisciplinary theory and practical case experience; the book addresses these matters and many of the surrounding controversies. While sustainability assessment must always be adjusted to particular circumstances; the generic approach set out in this book is applicable virtually anywhere.
