Gasparatos et al (2008) suggest, sustainability assessments ought to:
• integrate economic, environmental, social and increasingly institutional issues as well as to consider their interdependencies;
• consider the consequences of present actions well into the future;
• acknowledge the existence of uncertainties concerning the result of our present actions and act with a precautionary bias;
• engage the public;
• include equity considerations (intragenerational and intergenerational).
