Strengths and weaknesses of common sustainability indices for multidimensional systems. (2008, methodology): “, 2006) and substitutability between physical and natural capital (“weak” sustainability assumptions; Asheim, 2003; Hueting and Reijnders, 2004; Pillarisetti, 2005; Dietz and Neumayer, 2007).”
Comparative risk assessment of severe accidents in the energy sector (2014, background): “treatment of the three pillars or dimensions of sustainability (Levett, 1998), the degree to which different types of capital can be substituted or not (Dietz and Neumayer, 2007; Hueting and Reijnders, 2004; Rapp Nilsen, 2010), and the time period of concern (Kates et al.”
Review of sustainability indices and indicators: Towards a new City Sustainability Index (CSI) (2012, background): “They are fundamentally modified GDP (monetary) measures, considering environmental and social factors that often have a trade-off relationship with economic development or GDP growth.”
Critical natural capital revisited: Ecological resilience and sustainable development (2009, background): “ecosystem services (Jax, 2005 )t hat cannot be substituted by other types of capital ( de Groot et al., 2003; Dietz and Neumayer,2007 ).Paradigmatic examplesinclude”
Beyond GDP: Classifying Alternative Measures for Progress (2011, background): “Defining critical natural capital is rather difficult, yet Dietz and Neumayer (2007) argue that one could ‘ring-fence’ as critical any natural capital that is strictly non-substitutable, the loss of which would be irreversible, would entail very large costs due to its vital role for human well-being”
Theoretical exploration for the combination of the ecological, energy, carbon, and water footprints: Overview of a footprint family (2014, background): “The ecological footprint is built upon a tradition of seeking alternatives to the appropriated carrying capacity which is related to the maximum population size that can be supported by a given set of resources (Dietz and Neumayer, 2007; Ehrlich, 1982).”
Green economy and related concepts: An overview (2016, unknown): “This doubt can be partly explained by the two different visions of sustainability that can be found in the two economics theories related to green economy, i.e., weak sustainability and strong sustainability (Dietz and Neumayer, 2007; Neumayer, 2003; Pearce and Atkinson, 1993).”
Human Capital and Sustainability (2011, background): “environmental functions that cannot be substituted by other types of capital [26].”
