A Matrix of Instruments

Further trends in the use of economic instruments for environmental protection and sustainable development can be observed in the matrix below. The matrix is divided into 7 columns and 12 rows. The columns represent sectors within which economic instruments for environmental protection and sustainable development are used. The rows represent the various types of instruments currently in use. Each cell represents the intersection of sector and type of instrument and contains the number of the annotation which contains information on both. This will serve as an easy reference for users who are looking for specific information and do not want to search through the entire annotated bibliography.

A short description of the columns is available by clicking on each sector across the top row. The contents of the rows are not described since they are either self-explanatory or have been defined in the discussion available from previous pages.
