A Method for Assessing the Risks to Sustainability Posed by Process Operations
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We present a framework for assessing the risks to sustainability posed by any given set of processes. The objective is to improve sustainability by enabling better decision‐making in policy and business contexts. The framework can be applied to any system of processes where available information supports discovery and quantification of ...
