Product Description
Better Environmental Decisions reponds to the need for improved environmental decision making by bringing together leading scholars and practitioners to provide a comprehensive interdisciplinary introduction to the subject. Each chapter describes an important aspect of environmental decision making; identifies key issues, problems, and barriers; and recommends ways to improve both the process and the final result.
Topics examined include:
- Congressional decisions about regulatory reform
- environmental benefit/cost analysis
- valuing environmental impacts
- comparing risks and setting priorities
- strategic environmental management
- corporate accounting for environmental and social factors
- corporate responses to rules and regulations
- community decisions about environmental risks
- civic environmentalism
- community partnerships with industry and government
Throughout, contributors focus on providing tools to make better decisions, and on presenting solutions to real-world problems.
Better Environmental Decisions describes and analyzes the key decision making criteria of each of the stakeholders involved-governments, businesses, and communities ? and offers a compendium of techniques necessary for achieving success. It will be a landmark reference and resource for anyone involved with environmental decision making, including legislators, regulators, business and environmental managers, environmental advocates, community activists, reporters, researchers, educators, and students.
