Sustainability and Environmental Decision Making: Sustainability and Environmental Decision Making

Editat de Euston Quah, Renate Schubert
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 iun 2021

După parcurgerea acestui volum de referință, cititorul va dobândi capacitatea de a cuantifica beneficiile și costurile de mediu și de a proiecta politici publice care să echilibreze eficient resursele naturale limitate. Sustainability and Environmental Decision Making nu este doar un tratat teoretic, ci un ghid pragmatic care transformă concepte economice complexe în instrumente de lucru pentru factorii de decizie. Descoperim aici o abordare structurată, care începe cu bazele evaluării beneficiilor de mediu și progresează spre aplicații sectoriale vitale: managementul conflictelor legate de apă, eficiența transportului și strategii pentru managementul deșeurilor. Ne-a atras atenția în mod deosebit integrarea economiei comportamentale în luarea deciziilor. Reținem capitolele dedicate 'arhitecturii alegerii' și modului în care setările implicite pot influența consumul de electricitate fără a impune restricții rigide. Pe linia practică a lucrării Environmental Decision-Making in Context, dar cu un focus mult mai accentuat pe economia resurselor și reglementarea durabilelor, acest volum editat de Euston Quah și Renate Schubert oferă o perspectivă globală, susținută de observații empirice din diverse regiuni. Poziționată în contextul operei editorului, cartea reprezintă o evoluție firească de la lucrarea sa anterioară, Cost-Benefit Analysis. Dacă acolo Euston Quah stabilea cadrul analitic general, în acest volum din seria Sustainable Development el aplică aceleași rigori metodologice provocărilor climatice actuale. Structura logică a cuprinsului — de la măsurare la limitări și, în final, la soluții inovatoare pentru stocarea energiei — indică o acoperire exhaustivă, esențială pentru oricine dorește să fundamenteze decizii de mediu pe date economice solide.

Measuring, modelling, and enhancing social resilience in case of natural but also pandemic disasters is part of her project portfolio. Furthermore, Professor, Schubert’s research has been focused on adequate measures to induce behavioral changes with respect to the consumption of natural resources. Hereby, the existence of positive and negative spillover effects are of special importance.
