Models of Sustainable DevelopmentSylvie Faucheux, David Pearce, David William Pearce, John L. R. Proops A rigorous approach to environmental sustainability suitable for researchers and graduate students in environmental economics.

Examines how they deal with such fundamental issues as equity between and within generations, the very long term, the irreversibility of ecological change, uncertainty and system complexity, and processes of technological change.
