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. 517 $aSustainability as a Multi-criteria Concept 606 $aEconomics, Finance, Business and Management$2bicssc 610 $a"Agenda 2030" 610 $aachievement 610 $aagricultural sustainability 610 $aanaerobic digestion 610 $aanalytic hierarchy process 610 $aAnalytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) 610 $aassessment 610 $abenefit-cost analysis 610 $abest-worst method 610 $acarbon neutral 610 $acircular economy 610 $aclimate and energy policy 610 $aCoCoSo method 610 $acomposite indicators 610 $aCosta Rica 610 $acriteria 610 $adecision support 610 $aeconomic-strategic 610 $aenvironmental performance 610 $aenvironmental sustainability 610 $aEU countries 610 $afood and biodegradable waste 610 $afood safety 610 $aforest planning 610 $aforestry 610 $afresh food 610 $afuzzy PROMETHEE 610 $agoal programming 610 $aGreen-Tree Retention 610 $ainteractive methods 610 $airrigated olive groves 610 $aISO 14001 610 $alow carbon technologies 610 $amulti-attribute utility theory 610 $amulti-criteria analysis 610 $amulti-criteria decision analysis 610 $amulti-objective optimization 610 $amulticriteria 610 $an/a 610 $aNAIADE 610 $apreference ranking organisation method for enrichment evaluation 610 $aprogressive bounded constraint 610 $aquality indicator 610 $arural land use planning 610 $aShannon Entropy method 610 $aSpain 610 $astrong sustainability 610 $asupplier evaluation 610 $asupplier segmentation 610 $asustainability 610 $asustainability indices 610 $asustainable development goals 610 $asustainable supply chain 610 $aTOPSIS 610 $atransformation pathways 610 $awaste disposal technology 610 $aweak sustainability 610 $aweighted goal programming 610 $awind energy 615 7$aEconomics, Finance, Business and Management 700 $aDiaz-Balteiro$b Luis$4edt$01311531 702 $aGonza?lez-Pacho?n$b Jacinto$4edt 702 $aRomero$b Carlos$4edt 702 $aDiaz-Balteiro$b Luis$4oth 702 $aGonza?lez-Pacho?n$b Jacinto$4oth 702 $aRomero$b Carlos$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557779103321 996 $aSustainability as a Multi-criteria Concept$93030386 997 $aUNINA
