Routledge Handbook of Environmental Accounting (eBook, PDF)

Beschreibung

This handbook showcases the broad spectrum of diverse approaches to environmental accounting which have developed during the last 30 years across the globe.

The volume covers a range of physical issues such as water, carbon and biodiversity, as well as specific accounting matters such as management control, finance and audit. Moreover, seven chapters present environmental accounting issues that arise in the regions of Africa, Asia, Europe, MENA, North America, the Pacific and South America. The handbook also highlights future challenges in all the topic areas addressed as well as introducing new topics, such as links between environmental accounting and the circular economy, and the issues associated with animal rights. Edited by leading scholars in the area and with key contributions from across the discipline, and covering a diverse range of perspectives and locations, the volume is divided into five key parts:

. Part 1: Framing the issues

. Part 2: Financial accounting and reporting

. Part 3: Management accounting

. Part 4: Global and local perspectives

. Part 5: Thematic topics in environmental accounting

This handbook will act as a significant publication in drawing together the history of the field and important reference points in its future development, and will serve as a vital resource for students and scholars of environmental accounting and environmental economics.

Rezensionen

'This long-awaited handbook provides a comprehensive insight and overview of environmental accounting, written by some of the most distinguished researchers in the field. It is a helpful resource for students, lecturers and practitioners who wish to understand accounting theories, methods and approaches to analyse and antagonise global environmental crisis.'

Tobias Viere, Professor at the Institute for Industrial Ecology, Pforzheim University Business School, Germany

'Humanity affects the natural environment in ways that threaten its own existence and wellbeing. The incentives embedded in our systems of organization and governance, supported by accountants, perpetuate and exaggerate these effects.

This important book, authored and edited by the who's who of environmental accounting, examines these issues and is a must-read for scholars, students, practitioners, and policymakers who are interested in forming a better understanding and making a difference.'

Charl de Villiers, Professor of Accounting, The University of Auckland, New Zealand

'Finally, a comprehensive account of environmental accounting at an organizational level! This handbook covers its history, lessons learned, current practices on all continents, and future challenges.'

Ståle Navrud, Professor of Environmental Economics, School of Economics and Business, Norwegian University of Life Sciences, Norway
