Tripartite Global Assessment: Streamlining Decision-Making for Sustainable Development at the International Level.

The present study presents a hybrid approach to the evaluation of decision-making in the context of sustainable development, combining the methods of Multicriteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) Combined Compromise Solution (CoCoSo) and Simple Aggregation of Preferences Expressed by Ordinal Vectors – Principal Components (SAPEVO-PC). The objective was to create a ranking of 153 countries, considering 14 essential criteria in the environmental, social, and economic dimensions. The methodology employed allows an integrated analysis of these criteria, reflecting the concept of Triple Bottom Line. The results revealed Japan, Sweden, and Finland as the best-positioned countries, indicating the effectiveness of their sustainable policies and practices. The hybrid approach of the above methods offered a robust tool for complex analysis and decision-making with a relatively large number of alternatives and criteria. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
