Sustainability, Volume 16, Issue 21

2024 November-1 - 469 articles

Cover Story: The universe's interconnectedness and inevitable uncertainties intensify its complexity. Climate change stems from neglecting these interactions, making single-disciplinary, deterministic sustainability analyses seem ineffective. Rectifying this issue requires thinking “beyond disciplines” and creating a collaborative network of system-of-systems which can be realized using transdisciplinarity methodology. Achieving a targeted sustainability assessment is not possible except by adopting an uncertainty-based transdisciplinary system optimization approach. This study looks at the sustainability problem from a transdisciplinary systems engineering lens and proposes a two-level resilient sustainability assessment framework to effectively handle and enhance the resilience of companies’ sustainability development roadmaps.
