Abstract

This compilation explores diverse sustainability assessment methodologies across various sectors. It highlights advancements in Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (LCSA) for waste valorization and complex industrial systems. Integrated frameworks for the food-energy-water nexus, social enterprises, blockchain technology, and smart grids are discussed. The research also addresses circular economy assessments in construction and textiles, alongside Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in agriculture and multi-criteria decision-making for urban green infrastructure. The overarching emphasis is on comprehensive, integrated, and standardized assessment tools to foster sustainable development and informed policy across environmental, economic, and social dimensions.
