The Sustainability Assessment Unit provides
independent knowledge-based support for the
conception, development, implementation, and
monitoring of European Commission policies for
sustainable development and natural resources
efficiency. With its interdisciplinary team of
ecologists, technical scientists and economists,
the Unit provides research and technical support
within the European Commission for the
assessment of current impacts and benefits, as
well as for the analysis of future scenarios and
forecasting the sustainability of the use of
natural resources. It also supports the
translation of strategic European Commission
objectives related to sustainable growth into
short term policy choices taking into account
social, economic, and environmental
considerations, in the EU and global contexts.
In the context of the project, the objective for
the candidate is to support the compilation of
synthesis reports on methodologies, models and
analytical capacity used in sustainability
assessment, as well as to participate in the
development of a concept for an European
sustainability footprint. ?
