Policy analysis for sustainable development : complexities and methodological responses

Abstract

The Brundtland Commission defined sustainabledevelopment as development that meets the  needs of the present without compromisig the ability of future generations to meet their  own needs (WCED, 1987). This entails various complexities that policy‐makers will have to deal with to attain this objective. The first complexity resides in  the need to optimise three values  (i.e. ecological, social, and economic) at  the same time. It also resides in the  observation that human behaviour  (including public policy) often affects each of these values simultaneously.
