Potential Benefits of Integration of Environmental and Economic Policies An Incentive-Based Approach to Policy Integration Report

With a Preface by Mr. Y. Paleokrassas, European Commissioner for the Environment, this work, copublished with the Office for Official Publications of the European Communities, indicates how environmental sustainability can be achieved in ways which support economic development and employment. It demonstrates the quantitative implications of policy choices and shows what mix of policies will be needed if employment prospects are to be increased while environmental assets are conserved. Among policy options examined are various fiscal measures including increases in energy taxes and higher charges for water: these and other major policy choices are analysed in the light of their impact on economic and environmental models within the European Union to deduce what the economic--environmental future would be like if particular policy choices are pursued.DRI Artworks Staff is the author of 'Potential Benefits of Integration of Environmental and Economic Policies An Incentive-Based Approach to Policy Integration Report' with ISBN 9781859661086 and ISBN 1859661084.
