Abstract

In November 2002 a “train the trainer” program on environmental management accounting was performed in Costa Rica, following the approach developed for the United Nations Division for Sustainable Development, Working Group on Environmental Management Accounting. This programme included a public lecture and five case studies. This article describes the project organisation and applied methodology, and compares the obtained results to similar case studies in Austria.
