Using specific case studies, this report considers the application of analytic and scientific tools, methods, and approaches presented in the 2011 NRC report Sustainability and the U.S. EPA. This report examines both currently available and emerging tools, methods, and approaches to find those most appropriate for assessing and/or evaluating potential economic, social and environmental outcomes within an EPA decision context. Sustainability Concepts in Decision Making also discusses data needs and post-decision evaluation of outcomes on dimensions of sustainability. A broad array of sustainability tools and approaches are suitable for assessing potential environmental, social, and economic outcomes in EPA's decision-making context."--Publisher's description. 610 10 $a United States. $b Environmental Protection Agency. 650 0 $a Sustainability $z United States $x Decision making. 650 0 $a Environmental protection $z United States $x Decision making. 710 2 $a National Research Council (U.S.). $b Committee on Scientific Tools and Approaches for Sustainability. 710 2 $a National Research Council (U.S.). $b Board on Environmental Studies and Toxicology. 710 2 $a National Research Council (U.S.). $b Science and Technology for Sustainability Program Policy and Global Affairs Division. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214020238.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826102749.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E67B16486B5511E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
