Project descriptionName of the case study Environmental monitoring in Breda Description of context Please note - there is limited information available about this case study Description of project - background Some ten years ago environmental monitoring was attempted for the first time. An external investigation tried to determine useful indicators. Hundreds of indicators were selected, which was not workable. Finally, monitoring started with less than 10 indicators, and the results over the years were published in a book. As the monitoring was not anchored in the policy, this initiative ended.
Recently monitoring was seen again as a useful instrument. It was started up again, partly on request of the management.
Meanwhile an "environmental view" had begun fixing (global) aims on a semi long term (2000-2015). Description of project - objectives/aims
Environmental monitoring has a primary aim to evaluate environmental policy and to justify it to the management/government as a supplement to the annual report.
