This course will be directed mainly into analyzing development projects as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). The economic analysis of development projects has had a relatively long history. Initially, environmental impacts were deemed external to development projects, and hence were excluded from economic analysis. Subsequently, it became the practice to describe environmental impacts quantitatively.
Economic, social and environmental change is inherent to development. Whilst development aims to bring about positive change it can lead to conflicts. In the past, the promotion of economic growth as the motor for increased well-being was the main development thrust with little sensitivity to adverse social or environmental impacts. The need to avoid adverse impacts and to ensure long term benefits led to the concept of sustainability. This has become accepted as an essential feature of development if the aim of increased well-being and greater equity in fulfilling basic needs is to be met for this and future generations.
