The concept has considerably evolved in the last few years towards a multi-functionality context, with applications reported in practically all areas of economic interest. On the other hand, modern sustainability is a complex problem, for two reasons: a) The multiplicity of functions of a very different nature involved in the process and b) The manner in which different segments of the society or stakeholders perceive the relative importance of these functions. For the above reasons, a realistic approach for dealing with the sustainability issue requires taking into consideration multiple criteria of different nature (economic, environmental and social), and in many cases within a participatory decision making framework. This book presents a collection of papers, dealing with different theoretical and applied issues of sustainability, with the help of a modern multi-criteria decision-making theory, with a single as well as several stakeholders involved in the decision-making process. Hopefully, this material will encourage academics and practitioners to alter their research in this hot and vital topic. After all, the sustainable management of the environment and its embedded resources is one of the most important, if not the major challenge of the 21st century.Sustainability as a Multi-criteria Concept Economics, Finance, Business and Managementbicssc"Agenda 2030"achievementagricultural sustainabilityanaerobic digestionanalytic hierarchy processAnalytical Hierarchy Process (AHP)assessmentbenefit-cost analysisbest-worst methodcarbon neutralcircular economyclimate and energy policyCoCoSo methodcomposite indicatorsCosta Ricacriteriadecision supporteconomic-strategicenvironmental performanceenvironmental sustainabilityEU countriesfood and biodegradable wastefood safetyforest planningforestryfresh foodfuzzy PROMETHEEgoal programmingGreen-Tree Retentioninteractive methodsirrigated olive grovesISO 14001low carbon technologiesmulti-attribute utility theorymulti-criteria analysismulti-criteria decision analysismulti-objective optimizationmulticriterian/aNAIADEpreference ranking organisation method for enrichment evaluationprogressive bounded constraintquality indicatorrural land use planningShannon Entropy methodSpainstrong sustainabilitysupplier evaluationsupplier segmentationsustainabilitysustainability indicessustainable development goalssustainable supply chainTOPSIStransformation pathwayswaste disposal technologyweak sustainabilityweighted goal programmingwind energyEconomics, Finance, Business and ManagementDiaz-Balteiro Luisedt1311531González-Pachón JacintoedtRomero CarlosedtDiaz-Balteiro LuisothGonzález-Pachón JacintoothRomero CarlosothBOOK9910557779103321Sustainability as a Multi-criteria Concept3030386UNINA
