An ecology‐systems approach based on a three‐point philosophy to questions of development, rather than the traditional approach of economic and political expediency and the technological fix, will dominate decision‐making in the future. In developing an environmental assessment, an organizational model, methodology, time, and sufficient money are needed. In this article the philosophy and process of environmental assessment are explored.
