Terms such as environmental accounting and reporting, triple bottom line accounting, sustainability reporting, etc. are becoming much more common in everyday parlance. Such accounting and reporting is concerned with the integration of environmental, social and economic aspects of decision making and accountability. In this course emphasis is placed on environmental and economic aspects of sustainable development, rather than on social aspects. The course provides an introduction to contemporary environmental accounting and reporting issues in the context of ecologically sustainable development.
