Environment
Resource Efficiency Information & Indicators
Why science matters for env policy
Science is the first driver of env policy (CO2, ozone, mercury)
Env processes & interactions are
highly complex & need to be understood
Sound evidence required in IA and to back our claims
& actions
To ensure effectiveness &
implementability of legislation
The judicial system requires evidence
To monitor progress towards meeting policy objectives
Level of Information and its impact
From policies to indicators
"You cannot manage
what you cannot measure"
