Environmental management : systems, sustainability, and current issues

Environmental management systems are designed to improve environmental performance, which can reduce costs by lowering compliance costs, reducing waste, and improving efficiency and productivity.

In this book, the authors present current research from across the globe in the study of the sustainability and current issues of environmental management systems.

Topics discussed include an assessment of wildfire-related losses; the European Eco Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) regulation; sustainable resources for water treatment; ISO 14001 research standards and developing an ecosystem-based habitat conservation planning protocol in saline wetlands.
