The main goal is to identify potential opportunities for the adoption LCCA in developing countries, with the help of case studies and best practices. The editors observe that developing countries are plagued with poor and fluctuating service delivery which affords low or no priority for environmental protection. They seek to instill at the policy-making level an understanding of why life-cycle cost assessment is central to achieving the goals of sustainable development as well as sustainable service delivery and to influence the behavior of sector stakeholders. The editors examine the evolution of LCCA from a project appraisal tool to a more comprehensive method of incorporating sustainable development aspects in a variety of sectors. By providing a compendium of concepts, tools and practical experiences, it seeks to broaden the application of LCCA, which is often limited to specific phases of the life-cycle with little or no weight given to environmental aspects. The aim of the book is to mainstream LCCA into governance processes at institutional levels from local to national, in order to increase the ability and willingness of decision makers - both users and those involved in service planning, budgeting and delivery - to reach better informed and more relevant choices among different types and levels of products and services. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Environmental Science,$x2191-5547 606 $aSustainable development 606 $aEcology 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aSystem theory 606 $aSustainable Development$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000 606 $aEnvironment, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U00009 606 $aWater Policy/Water Governance/Water Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/215000 606 $aAgriculture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L11006 606 $aComplex Systems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M13090 615 0$aSustainable development. 615 0$aEcology. 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 0$aSystem theory. 615 14$aSustainable Development. 615 24$aEnvironment, general. 615 24$aWater Policy/Water Governance/Water Management. 615 24$aAgriculture. 615 24$aComplex Systems. 676 $a658.1552 700 $aReddy$b V.
