<br/><br/> Over the past ten years, the French public administration has been conducting studies with a view to improving cost-benefit analysis and thereby integrate environmental dimensions into its appraisals and assessments.

It focuses on the collective value of CO2 and highlights the most important characteristics of this process and related issues for public policy.
