Sustainomics, Sustainable Development and Climate Change
This paper examines key issues in the nexus of sustainable development and climate change. It describes sustainomics as ‘a transdisciplinary, integrative, balanced, heuristic and practical meta-framework for making development more sustainable’. The paper seeks to integrate these concepts through two broad approaches involving optimality and durability, and applies these ideas to climate change analysis. Operationally, it plays this bridging role by helping to map the results of environmental and social impact assessments (EIA and SIA) onto the framework of conventional economic analysis of projects. In addition the approach may help to formulate effective sustainable development policies, by linking and articulating these activities explicitly trough the Action Impact Matrix framework.
