This book applies multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approaches to facilitate sustainable consumption and production. Sustainable consumption and production not only focuses on the economic prosperity but also pays great attention to environmental protection and social justice, in order to promote sustainable development. In such context, most 'material' can be deemed as 'hazardous' at any stage of their lifecycle, i.e., from extraction to final disposal, because of its quantity, concentration, or physical, chemical, or infectious characteristics, may cause, or pose a substantial or…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
This book applies multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approaches to facilitate sustainable consumption and production. Sustainable consumption and production not only focuses on the economic prosperity but also pays great attention to environmental protection and social justice, in order to promote sustainable development. In such context, most 'material' can be deemed as 'hazardous' at any stage of their lifecycle, i.e., from extraction to final disposal, because of its quantity, concentration, or physical, chemical, or infectious characteristics, may cause, or pose a substantial or potential hazard to human health or the environment. Through the application of system theory, game theory, optimization theory, as well as various computational approaches, this book helps engineers/ policy makers to identify solutions or mitigation strategies to reduce environmental impact associated with consumption and production. It is essential reading for students, researchers, policy makers as well as those with a wider interest in environmental science and sustainable development.
Autorenporträt
Dr. Rui Zhao received the PhD Degree in Sustainable Design and Technology, from University of Hull, sponsored by "Hull-China Joint Research Scholarship." Dr. Rui Zhao received a full professorship in the School of Environmental Science and Engineering, Southwest Jiaotong University, China. Dr.Zhao is appointed as the Vice Dean of School of Environmental Science and Engineering. Dr.Zhao's current research in the field of sustainable engineering has focused on mathematical modelling and computational approaches, which are capable of providing mitigation strategies to limit environmental burden, as well as promote sustainable development. A significant proportion of his research is an interdisciplinary study, while using system theory to identify environmental issues in order for better decision making in the area of low carbon production and consumption.
