Summary: An academic meta-review of different methodologies that have been used in publications for sustainability assessments, and understanding differences in methodology choices and their strengths and weaknesses. They aim to produce guidance on how to select an assesment method.
Relevance to CCRP: Moderate. The paper itself is very technical on some of the methodology of the review itself, but the final 4-step process suggested for selection of assessment methods is extremely relevant to a CCRP audience.
