[{"$nulls":3},"Cost-benefit Analysis","Cost-benefit analyses typically compare the strengths and weaknesses of alternative options or scenarios—such as different business activities, projects or policies—as a basis of comparing investment decisions.\n\nAn important concept in a cost benefit analysis is the ‘time value of money’, where future costs and benefits are expressed on a common basis in terms of their ‘net present value’."]
[{"$nulls":3},"Ecosystem services","The Ecosystem Services (ES) Valuation process places values on various ecosystem services and then determines how these values will change as a result of planned activities, such as the construction of new buildings, or land razing to make way for the planting of new crops.\n\nEcosystem services fall into the following categories:\n» Provisioning services are the products obtained from ecosystems such as food, fresh water, wood, genetic resources and medicines.\n» Regulating services are defined as the benefits obtained from the regulation of ecosystem processes such as climate regulation, natural hazard regulation, water purification and waste management, pollination or pest control.\n» Habitat services highlight the importance of ecosystems to provide habitat for migratory species and to maintain the viability of gene-pools.\n» Cultural services include non-material benefits that people obtain from ecosystems such as spiritual enrichment, intellectual development, recreation and aesthetic values.\n\nAll ES Valuation approaches can be categorized into two general groupings – market values, which refer to all the out-of-pocket costs traded in formal markets (e.g. a monthly utility bill), and non-market values. Tools can be used to calculate ES values based on methods such as the travel cost method, the hedonic pricing method, the choice of modelling method, the contingent valuation method, the restoration cost method, the avoided cost method, the benefit transfer method, and the replacement cost method. The valuation methods used depend on the relevant ecosystem service categories, the project being studied and available resources."]
[{"$nulls":3},"Footprinting","The Ecological Footprint Assessment (EFA), also known as ‘Eco-Footprint’ and ‘Environmental Footprint’, methods quantify the impacts of human activities measured in terms of the area of biologically productive land (such as grazing land, crop land, forest land, fishing grounds, uptake land, and built-up land) and water required to produce the goods consumed and to assimilate the wastes generated.\n\nThe Ecological Footprint Approach uses land as its main ‘currency’ comparing how much biologically productive area is used to how much is available (biocapacity)."]
[{"$nulls":3},"Impact Assessment","Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is the process of assessing the likely environmental impacts (positive and negative) of a plan, policy, program, or a project. Social Impact Assessments (SIA), which are sometimes included within an EIA, focus on the social impacts of the proposed activity. When social impact assessments are conducted as part of an EIA, they are often referred to as ESIAs.\n\nThe main purpose of ESIAs is to inform decision makers of the likely impacts of a proposal before a decision is made. Other types of impact assessments that may be included in an ESIA, or conducted separately, include health impact assessments, human rights impact assessment, and biodiversity impact assessments."]
[{"$nulls":3},"Input-Output","The Input-Output Model (IOM) is a quantitative economic method used to assess the inputs and outputs through an organization, industry or economy.\n\nIOMs have historically been used to analyze the interdependencies between economic sectors; often to depict inter-industry relationships within an economy, showing how output from one industrial sector may become an input to another industrial sector. IOMs have also been used to estimate the impacts of positive or negative economic shocks and ripple effects through an economy.\n\nAt a company level, an IOM typically models the inputs and outputs required to produce an organization’s goods and services, including the interdependencies between organizational units.\n\nAll numbers that match the inputs and outputs related to production and consumption are put into a matrix, which shows how the outputs can change when the inputs do; or, in most cases, how profits can change when the demand and/or costs of all the inputs change. IOMs can also be used to model non-financial inputs and outputs. For example, environmental resources such as water, land or air, can be modelled as inputs into the overall production model, or outputs that are impacted by the processes of production."]
[{"$nulls":3},"Life Cycle Assessment","Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a method for the evaluation of the environmental aspects of a product or service system through all stages of its life cycle.\n\nLCA utilises a ‘cradle-to-grave’ approach where every unit process is tracked back to the raw materials and energy inputs, and forward to the disposal impacts.\n\nThis approach provides a systematic way to evaluate benefits to society of particular policy choices, product preferences, and system improvements.\n\nLCAs allow for the comparison of all potential environmental and social damages of a product or service, such as greenhouse gases, water pollution, habitat destruction, ozone depletion, and soil acidification. The results of LCAs help companies make better-informed choices as they consider the ways in which business and supplier activities impact natural capital.  "]
[{"$nulls":3},"Triple Bottom Line","The Triple Bottom Line (TBL) method is an accounting framework that incorporates three dimensions of performance: social, environmental and financial. The TBL dimensions are also commonly called the ‘three Ps’: people, planet and profits.\n\nTBL has become the dominant approach to public sector full cost accounting. More broadly, TBL can be thought of as a management approach that can be used when an enterprise sets its purpose and mission, and charts its strategic direction."]
