How it works
It sets specific time-bound and accountable targets, and periodically reviews them to correct the course rather than repeat them each year.
It converts objectives into verifiable decisions through simulation, measurement, review, learning and clear responsibilities throughout the life cycle.
When does it make sense?
- Before irreversible decisions and after putting the system into use
- When there is a specific question the data can answer
- With defined data quality, privacy, responsibility and subsequent actions
How to apply it
- 1
Define what needs resolves "measurable and revised environmental objectives" and establish a baseline situation.
- 2
Compare alternatives and adapt design to climate, use, regulation, affected people and available resources.
- 3
Apply with clear responsibilities, check the actual result and correct unwanted effects.
Potential benefits
More informed decisions
Early detection of failures
Learning and continuous improvement
Limitations and precautions
- Unearmarked targets shift responsibility away from those unable to meet them.
- Measuring without ability to act adds complexity without improving results.
- Models and certifications depend on assumptions, scope, data and verification.
