“…In the scientific literature, sustainability refers to "social and ecological resilience" [10], and the impacts and continuity are crucial aspects. In contrast, the United Nations Commission on Environment and Development (the Brundtland Commission) introduced the concept of sustainable development in 1987: "development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs".…”

This paper combines the most popular tourism typologies or goals (i.e., RT, responsible tourism, to represent impact minimisation; ST, sustainable tourism, to represent welfare maximisation; AT, alternative tourism, to represent continuity maximisation) and decision-making methodologies (i.e., MCA, multi-criteria analysis; CBA, cost-benefit analysis; WLCA, weighted life-cycle assessment; MLCA, monetary life-cycle assessment) in a single dynamic framework to operationally match the former with the latter. Normative insights show that MCA and WLCA are most suitable for RT and AT, respectively, whereas CBA and MLCA are most suitable for ST. Management recommendations (i.e., if a wrong static instead of a right dynamic approach must be adopted due to a lack of data, once chosen a tourism typology or goal, ST is the best in terms of level, correlation and likelihood of errors) are provided, and policy recommendations (i.e., if a right dynamic approach is adopted, in choosing among tourism typologies or goals, AT is the best in terms of precaution, ST is the best in terms of correlation, and RT is the best in terms of risk of investments) are suggested for a case study characterized by negative environmental and cultural dynamics. Positive insights show that two and many papers have applied WLCA and MLCA, respectively, to RT, but they did not account for cultural features; many papers have applied CBA to ST, but only one paper applied MLCA; few and no papers have applied MCA and WLCA, respectively, to AT.

“…Researchers have described environmental sustainability in diverse ways [1][2][3]. To investigate a national-level sustainability model that relies on quantitative data as a proxy for reality, it's necessary to choose a sustainability model that can be calibrated using empirical data at a country level.…”

This paper develops a theoretical framework to assess the feasibility of environmental sustainability solutions, at local and global levels, based on the religious environmental ethics of several key religions: Hinduism (including Jainism), Buddhism (including Confucianism and Daoism), Judaism, Christianity (Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Protestantism), and Islam. Solutions are defined in terms of consumption (measured by GDP), environment use (measured by the ecological footprint), and welfare for representative individuals. Empirical insights for alternative religious environmental ethics focus on the relative importance attached to the consumption of goods (α) vs. involvement in a (local/global) community, and on the importance attached to the environment within the (local/global) community (μ). In terms of feasibility for national environmental problems (i.e., pairs of α and μ achieving sustainability, in countries where the religion is a majority) and consistency (i.e., coherence with the religion’s precepts) of policies for national environmental problems: Hinduism = uddhism > Islam > Judaism. Christianity produced no feasible solutions. In terms of effectiveness for global environmental problems (i.e., pairs of α and μ achieving global sustainability, if inequalities among nations are reduced in the future) and replicability for local environmental problems (i.e., pairs of α and μ achieving sustainability in countries where the religion is a minority): Hinduism = Buddhism > Judaism > Islam.

“…Cidades resilientes são mais preparadas e respondem melhor e mais rápido às mudanças e situações de emergência, tanto internas quanto externas. Assim, ao ampliar os serviços do ecossistema urbano e garantir maior resiliência às cidades, estas têm menores perdas econômicas diante de distúrbios(JHA et al, 2013).Entende-se por resiliência a capacidade de um sistema em absorver distúrbiosinterações que alterem o comportamento de um sistema(SALAS-ZAPATA et al, 2017) -antes que um sistema mude sua estrutura -mudando suas variáveis e processos que controlam o comportamento de seus elementos(HOLLING, 1973) -e reorganizar-se diante de mudanças de modo que este mantenha essencialmente as suas funções, sua estrutura, identidade e feedbacks(WALKER et al, 2004). , pela presença de um ponto de equilíbrio (Tabela 01).…”
