Direct impacts on ecosystem services have been emphasized in different frameworks, incorporating impacts on ecosystem services into LCAs and EIAs (Zhang et al. 2010; Landsberg et al. 2011).
However it may also simply reflect the fact that policies outside the health sector do not consider incorporating impacts on health when formulating policy; for example, the primary purpose of a new transport policy is more likely to be economic improvement rather than health improvement.
Our framework incorporates impact data sources, different impact intensity scales, preparation and fitting of data, uncertainty analysis and documentation.
Or, more likely, there won't be CSR jobs in the future and you'll have to incorporate impact and sustainability into your existing job.
Presently, most design processes incorporate impacts as non-technical criteria, through environmental and social impact assessment studies.
This study proposes a novel design methodology of biomass utilization systems which incorporates impacts on the existing petroleum refining industry into consideration.
By projecting LULC change and associated impacts on ecosystem service delivery to 2015 we minimize the bias in our models caused by our present inability to more comprehensively incorporate impacts of climate change and other dynamic feedback effects.
Second, by only projecting to 2015 we minimize the bias in our models caused by our present inability to more comprehensively incorporate impacts of climate change and other dynamic feedback effects (see below).
To some extent, it can be combined with the abovementioned assessment methods to incorporate impacts of different products, services and projects on ecosystem services, and the discussions on trade-offs between different ecosystem services (Raudsepp-Hearne et al. 2010).
Although a growing number of studies are assessing the impacts of short-term exposure to particulate matter in previously underrepresented regions of the world (e.g., Romieu et al. 2009; Wong et al. 2008), studies of long-term exposure also incorporate impacts related to chronic disease and therefore provide a more comprehensive estimate of overall health effects (Kunzli et al. 2001).
