Sustainable development and regional environmental economy.

Summary This book, for which Belgian, French and Canadian researchers have collaborated, first addresses sustainable development concepts in economics before applying them, in a second step, to regional issues. Sustainability assessment methods, life cycle analysis and the study of sustainable development as a technical innovation problem allow us to better understand and evaluate the impact of our actions in terms of sustainability. The ensuing regional implementation, whether theoretical or empirical, deals, among other things, with the impact of airport noise pollution on local residents, interactions between economic systems and ecosystem services for fish nurseries, or the calculation of indicators and measures of well-being based on regional statistics.
