Atlas NW - Background
Interactive tools for sustainable development
The project
The project which developed the AtlasNW was the 'Regional Interactive Sustainability Atlas' (RISA), funded by the Engineering & Physical Science Research Council, and carried out by CURE in collaboration with:
- Sustainability NW www.snw.org.uk
- Regional Research Laboratory, University of Manchester
- Envision Sustainability Tools Inc (ESTI) of British Columbia, Canada www.envisiontools.com
The project which developed the 4-Sight component of this was the 'Resource Flow Audit for Sustainability' (4-sight). This was coordinated by the National Centre for Business Ecology, commissioned by Sustainability NW, and funded by the Biffaward environmental trust. Research work was carried out by CURE and software development by ESTI. The main report 'Rocks to Rubble' is on www.massbalance.org/projects
