Sustainability assessment of technologies by taking a life-cycle approach

Results of the PROSUITE EU FP7 project in developing an aggregated system of social-sustainability indicators

Summary/Abstract: The PROSUITE EU FP7 project was aimed at developing and applying a coherent, life-cycle oriented methodology for the sustainability assessment of technologies. First, a set of indicators were elaborated for the estimation of the anticipated environmental, economic and social impacts of the future implementation of technologies. This was followed by the development of a multi-criteria evaluation methodology integrating the various impacts, which was tested for four technologies over the full scale of their life-cycles. Finally, a decision support system was worked out to aid R&D policy decisions. The paper presents the most important results of the PROSUITE project, with special attention paid to the development of an aggregated system of social sustainability indicators.
