• When to use what: Methods for weighting and aggregating sustainability indicators (2017, neutral): “Therefore, indices representing strong sustainability must take into account non-compensability as well as threshold values for each indicator, above which substitutability cannot be allowed (Ekins et al., 2003; Mori and Christodoulou, 2012).”
• Indicator-based assessments of progress towards the sustainable development goals (SDGs): a case study from the Arab region (2017, background): “…Wealth Index) to track progress towards sustainable development, many of which have been reviewed elsewhere (Böhringer and Jochem 2007; Dahl 2012; Dasgupta et al. 2015; Managi 2016; Mayer 2008; Mori and Christodoulou 2012; Singh et al. 2009; United Nations Economic Commission for Europe 2014).”
• Applying the SDGs to Cities: Business as Usual or a New Dawn? (2018, background): “Mori and Christodoulou (2012) reviewed sustainability indicator sets that have been used by cities and conclude that none of these indicator sets satisfies the requirements necessary to monitor sustainable development, in line with the triple bottom line, in cities across the world [53].”
• Measuring links between cultural heritage management and sustainable urban development: An overview of global monitoring tools (2017, background): “…national, regional, and local—is constituting a basis of information for political decision-making and contributing to the establishment of a common language in practice, policy, and research (Mascarenhas, Coelho, Subtil, & Ramos, 2010; Mori & Christodoulou, 2012; Tanguay et al., 2010).”
