520 _aDescribes the importance of environmental appraisal and valuation to sustainability assessment. They are key to analysing economic and social costs and benefits. Describes the difference in approaches of economists, engineers and environmental professionals. Prescriptive analysis tools used by engineers can complement those used by economists. Tools from both disciplines are described. A range of interrelated environmental project techniques is seen as the ideal method of appraisal. However caution must be exercised when adopting economic and engineering techniques. They must be fit for their sustainability purpose.
