Objective: develop concepts and tools for facing the complex challenges of the EU Strategy on Sustainable Development and the Johannesburg Summit; characterise the sustainability dimension of the relevant policies; support the assessment of the interrelations of environmental, economic and social impacts of policies and measures. Priorities: VIII.1 Estimating thresholds of sustainability and externalities: a) Harmonising and sharing of methods and data (STREP/CA 2003); b) Define thresholds of environmental sustainability; c) Elaborating new accounting frameworks of externalities (both NoE/IP 2004); VIII.2. Developing tools for Integrated Sustainability and for incorporation of sustainability in decision making processes: a) High-level scientific group for validation of tools and results; b) Indicators to monitor progress towards sustainability (both STREP/CA 2003); c) Innovative methods and tools for policy assessments (NoE/IP 2004); d) Integrated modelling and quantitative tool development for sustainability scenarios; e) Education programmes (both STREP/CA 2004); Research topics.
