9 Appendix<br />

9.1 Appendix 1: Guidance on Sustainability Assessment<br />

The following descriptions on key issues in <strong>Program</strong> Evaluation taken from [5] are helpful for<br />

program evaluators to determine which issues will be needed for the evaluation of a particular<br />

program.<br />

Issues Description Possible parameters<br />

Environment<br />

Air quality Air quality refers to changes compared to the<br />

baseline in:<br />

Pollution of indoor <strong>and</strong> outdoor air which may<br />

have a negative impact on human health or<br />

the environment, including particulates, NOx,<br />

SOx, lead, carbon monoxide, ozone, POPs,<br />

mercury, CFCs, Halons. Also odour is<br />

considered to be a form of air pollution.<br />

Water quality<br />

<strong>and</strong> quantity<br />

Pollution with gases covered under the Kyoto<br />

Protocol (carbon dioxide (CO2), methane<br />

(CH4),<br />

Nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons<br />

(HFCs), perfluorinated carbons (PFCs) <strong>and</strong><br />

sulphur hexafluoride (SF6).) Are not included in<br />

this category as this category refers to changes<br />

in the environment in addition to reductions of<br />

greenhouse gases since GHG reductions are<br />

included in all greenhouse gas reduction<br />

projects by definition.<br />

Water quality <strong>and</strong> quantity refer to t changes<br />

compared to the baseline in:<br />

Release of pollutants <strong>and</strong> changes in water<br />

balance <strong>and</strong> availability in ground‐ <strong>and</strong> surface<br />

water <strong>and</strong> its impacts on the environment <strong>and</strong><br />

human health, including biological oxygen<br />

dem<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> chemical oxygen dem<strong>and</strong>,<br />

thermal pollution, mercury, SOx, NOx, POPs,<br />

lead, coliforms (bacteria from animal waste)<br />

Soil condition Soil condition refers to changes compared to<br />

the<br />

baseline in:<br />

Pollution of soils, pollution of soils can be<br />
