Multiple Criteria Decision-Making as an Operational Conceptualization of Energy Sustainability

There is a broad international consensus about the urgency of promoting a strong change towards energy models that are less dependent on non-renewable energy sources, more equitable, and truly environmentally friendly. In order to achieve this goal, we need to define the problem so that it can be op...
