| Abstract |
Environmental Space is being used by many groups throughout Europe as the basis for describing targets to make development in Europe sustainable. The concept is described together with the policy suggestions for a sustainable Europe emanating from the use of this method. The methodology of Environmental Space is then evaluated critically and its similarity with Ecological Footprints is noted. It is also noted that alternative calculations, using a materials balance approach, give a very different solution to some of the problems of making development sustainable, as addressed by the use of Environmental Space. This difference raises the questions of whether the approach is roughly right or not, and whether the policy prescriptions by using the Environmental Space method are misguided. |
