Assessment methods
There is no standardised approach to
assessment methods, policy evaluation or
quick crossborder comparison schemes.
We need a network of experts who will
support us in using the right methods for
systematic analyses of the state and
outlooks of the environment

MECENAS
We need on cross border level:
1. Assessment methods researched,
applied and updated
2. Politicians acquinted with the methods
and applications
3. Citizens subsequently living
sustainably in the better environment
