Abstract

The main purpose of the present study is to feature the computational practice of green policy performance measurement. Computing the progress of the green economy includes topics as indicators and measures to characterize environmental sustainability, methodological issues to indicate and present spatiotemporal patterns of resource use and pollution, computational frameworks for comparisons of environmental management among economies / economic sectors / socio-economic systems, computational techniques to define the structure, dynamics, and change in ecosystems. Results are discussed in support of green policies.
