The Spectrum Approach
Two short reports outlining the Spectrum Appraisal Approach developed by Hugh Barton Marcus Grant (2006) The aim of this technique is to enable decision makers to take a quick but holistic overview of policy from the sustainability and human health standpoint. It acts as a summary of the strengths and weaknesses of a policy. Spectrum appraisal is then discussed alongside the strengths and weaknesses of EIA and HIA.
