This project was terminated by 1st of March 2007 - and these pages will not be updated further. It has been replaced by the IFEH Sustainabilility Initiative.
The aim of this
specific project was to build up a collection of initiatives and
activities undertaken primarily by local and regional
environment and health authorities, World-wide. It
is intended to demonstrate how indicators can be used
as a tool for planning and monitoring. The
use of indicators will allow for a more accurate assessment,
performed by the local authority, to demonstrate whether progress
has been made towards a sustainable development.
This project started in 2000. A final report will be elaborated by mid 2007.
By using indicators it
should be easier to answer some basic questions and
visualize the state/pressure/effect:
- What is the actual pressure on
- and state of the environment and health in
our local / regional community ?
- On which topics should we focus
our efforts ?
- Do our efforts result
in measurable changes on the pressure, or on the
state of the environment and/or health ?
- Do we contribute to move towards
a sustainable development - both locally as well
as globally ?
