I suggest:

Herman Daly and John Cobb, "For the Common Good", Beacon Press (Boston) 1989. 

"Ecological Economics; The Science and Management of Sustainability" Edited
by Robert Costanza. 1991. New York: Columbia University Press.

LITERATURE, Vol. 9, No. 4, May 1995, pp. 339-341.

Mohan Munasinghe, "Environmental Economics and Sustainable Development",

You might want to visit the website of the International Society for
Ecological Economics at http://kabir.cbl.cees.edu/ISEE/ISEEhome.html.


For sustainable transport you might want to reference:

"Towards Sustainable Transportation," proceedings of OECD conference held
March 1996 in Vancouver, BC.

"Sustainable Transport; Priorities for Policy Reform," World Bank
(Washington DC), 1996.

"Toward a Sustainable Future," Special Report 251, Transportation Research
