Book Description
Book 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 decisionmaking, including legislators, regulators, business and environmental managers, environmental advocates, community activists, reporters, researchers, educators, and students.
