“…The strategic aim is to integrate multiple environmental pressures that can be attributed to DACTs' activity with the definition and implementation of the tourism environmental composite indicator (TECI). In contrast to the majority of the currently employed methodologies (Cabello et al, 2014;Marshall et al, 2014;Kytzia et al, 2011;Castellani and Sala, 2010;Blancas et al, 2010;Erdogan and Tosun, 2009;Hughey et al, 2004), the presented approach enables the assessment of the environmental sustainability in terms of information of specifically defined normalized performance sub-indices combined in an overall composite indicator.…”

“…Moreover, Fujii and Managi (2013) [92] examined nine industries in OECD countries, and found that the environmental Kuznets curve turning points and the relationship between GDP per capita and sectoral CO 2 emissions differ among industries. Finally, as expected from the empirical literature [93][94][95], different sustainability paradigms can lead to different sustainability assessments.…”

This paper develops an empirical methodology to consistently compare alternative sustainability paradigms (weak sustainability (WS), strong sustainability (SS), a-growth (AG), and de-growth (DG)) and different assessment approaches (LCA, CBA, and MCA) within alternative relationship frameworks (economic general equilibrium (EGE) and ecosystem services (ESS)). The goal is to suggest different environmental interventions (e.g., projects vs. policies) for environmental management at national, regional, or local levels. The top-down methodology is then applied to 30 interdependent industries in Italy for three pollutants and four resources during two periods. The industries were prioritized in terms of interventions to be taken to diminish pollution damage and resource depletion, whereas sustainability paradigms were compared in terms of their likelihood (i.e., WS > AG = DG > SS), robustness (i.e., AG > SS > DG > WS), effectiveness (i.e., SS > AG > DG > WS), and feasibility (i.e., SS > DG > WS > AG). Proper assessment approaches for projects are finally identified for situations when policies are infeasible (e.g., LCA in WS and SS, MCA in DG and SS within ESS, CBA in WS, and AG within EGE), by suggesting MCA in WS within ESS once ecological services are linked to sustainability criteria.

In this paper, I develop an operational methodology to consistently compare alternative sustainability paradigms (weak sustainability [WS] [ESS]). The goal is to suggest different environmental interventions (e.g., projects vs. policies) for nature management and guide decisions to achieve nature conservation, defined here as reducing environmental pressures to preserve the future environment and its functioning over time. I then apply the methodology to 30 interdependent industries in Italy for three pollutants (greenhouse-effect gases, polluted rain, and air pollution) and four resources (water, minerals, fossil fuels, biomass) during two periods (from 1990 to 2007 and from 1990 to 2012). The industries were prioritised in terms of interventions to be taken to diminish pollution damage and resource depletion (e.g., fishing and non-energy mining for any sustainability paradigm), whereas sustainability paradigms are compared in terms of their likelihood (i.e., WS > AG = DG > SS), robustness (i.e., AG > SS > DG > WS), effectiveness (i.e., SS > AG > DG > WS), and feasibility (i.e., SS > DG > WS > AG). Proper assessment approaches for projects are finally identified for situations when policies are infeasible (e.g., LCA in WS and SS, MCA in DG and SS within ESS, CBA in WS and AG within EGE), by suggesting MCA in WS within ESS once ecological services are linked to sustainability criteria.
