To augment the many theoretical and abstract studies, economists and other contributors from across Europe offer operative and applied perspectives on creating models to assess the impact of different policies on sustainable development. They consider such topics as designing sustainability policy, interpreting environmental policy cost measures, carbon dioxide capture and storage support in sustainable energy systems, the energy-environment-economy model for Europe, policy analysis based on computable equilibrium, multiple model calculations of the economic impacts of reducing the emission of greenhouse gases, and transition to sustainability.
