Sustainability Appraisal

---

Sustainability Appraisal is a sourcebook of the state-of-the-art of this rapidly emerging and diversifying area. It draws on a wealth of international experiences and approaches to illustrate the status and scope of Sustainability Appraisal/Assessment (SA). This comprehensive guide highlights how SA can be used to analyse and integrate the key environmental, social and economic pillars of sustainability into decision-making at all levels, from policy to project to investment, by government, business and industry, or international organisations.

Distilling both published and unpublished materials, and with contributions from a range of leading experts, organisations and agencies, this book will be of significant value to professionals everywhere who are in need of a solid reference guide to what constitutes SA practice and, more importantly, how and when it can be applied.

Barry Dalal-Clayton is Senior Fellow at IIED, author of Sustainable Development Strategies (Earthscan, 2002) and co-author, with Barry Sadler, of Strategic Environmental Assessment (Earthscan, 2005).

Barry Sadler is an independent consultant and former advisor to a number of international organisations, contributor to Assessing Impact (Routledge, 2004) and co-editor of the Handbook of SEA (Earthscan, 2007).
