Applying Integrated Environmental Assessment to EU Waste Policy: A Scoping Paper for the European Forum on Integrated Environmental Assessment (EFIEA)
The purpose of the paper is to identify in what ways integrated environmental assessment (IEA) might be usefully applied to inform the future development of waste policy. In so doing it assesses the current situation in EU waste policy, looking at issues associated with waste generation, existing legislation and initiatives, and the strategic policy questions being raised. It brings together current thinking on waste management, drawing on the experience of various actors within Member States and at the EU level. The paper is one of four papers recently commissioned under the second phase of the European Forum for Integrated Environmental Assessment (EFIEA).
