Abstract

This publication summarizes the first IIASA Policy Seminar, held in Laxenburg from 18-21 June 1979. The Seminar focussed on an approach to adaptive environmental assessment and management developed at IIASA and the University of British Columbia, Canada. During the past several years, the approach has been tested, implemented, and evaluated by a variety of government and industrial groups. The Seminar drew together senior administrators involved in these implementation experiments, with the goal of analyzing successes and failures of the approach, and determining priorities for its future improvement and promulgation. This publication consists of the short summary report prepared by the Seminar, and unedited copies of the background papers which individual participants had been asked to prepare.
