چکیده
Assessment tools based on static and linear concepts like traditional cost-benefit analysis can not reasonably be applied for long-term assessments of complex systems. One major reason is that secondary effects of policies caused by endogenous dynamics of the system are not considered. So, for environmental impacts the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is developed that already includes a feedback mechanism from the failure to reach environmental targets to changes of policy initiatives and to a repeated impact prediction. However, the need is realised to further integrate environmental assessment with economic and social assessment to achieve sustainability. Therefore a so-called Strategic Sustainability Analysis (SSA) is suggested. The SSA is applied for integrated long-term assessment of policies and programmes. This paper presents requirements and two prototypical examples (ESCOT, ASTRA) on how to realise SSA«s.
