Integrated and Smart Sustainability Indicators for Environmental Impact Evaluation

Environmental impact evaluation has become increasingly important as societies work to address climate change, resource depletion, and broader sustainability challenges. As industries, governments, and communities face growing environmental pressures, there is a rising need for more effective ways to measure, monitor, and understand the impacts of human activity on the environment. Sustainability indicators play a key role in translating complex environmental data into practical tools that can support decision-making and long-term planning. At the same time, advances in digital technologies, data analytics, and intelligent systems are transforming traditional assessment methods into more dynamic, real-time, and adaptive approaches. These developments are creating new opportunities for integrated and smart sustainability indicators to support more informed, accurate, and sustainable environmental evaluation practices. Integrated and Smart Sustainability Indicators for Environmental Impact Evaluation examines integrated and smart sustainability indicators within the context of contemporary sustainability frameworks, including ESG principles, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the European Green Deal. This book provides a structured and conceptually grounded understanding of sustainability, environmental impact assessment, and the evolution of indicator-based approaches, supporting the transition from traditional evaluation methods toward integrated and technology-enabled assessment systems. Covering topics such as real-time environmental impact assessment, sustainable masonry mortar, and quality management systems, this book is an excellent academic resource for graduate and doctoral students, environmental policy analysts, climate governance specialists, and regulatory experts, urban planners, smart city developers, environmental engineers, energy systems engineers, policymakers, and more.
