Evaluación de sustentabilidad. Un enfoque dinámico y multidimensional

This publication is an essential reading for those interested in sustainability and its application to natural resources management. It gives the rare oportunity to access both a detailed review of the main frontier issues in sustainability assessments and to learn from the practical experience of 10 years of applying the Framework for the Evaluation of Natural Resources Management Systems Incorporing Sustainability Indexes (MESMIS, for the acronym in Spanish) in more than 40 case studies throughout Latin America and the Iberian Peninsule. Key questions such as: What sustainability evaluation frameworks have been developed during the last decade? What kind of indexes are more appropriate and how can they be integrated with transparency, without losing multidimensionality in analysis? How to carry out a multiscale sustainability evaluation? How can we incorporate a perspective of dynamic systems into the evaluation? What institutional and ethical dilemma is the idea of sustainability facing? What are the most important findings from the study cases?
