Summary

This work contains a collection of selected, peer-reviewed and state-of-the-art papers that were presented at the First Dubrovnik Conference on Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment systems that was held in June 15-20, 2003 in Dubrovnik, Croatia. This conference was focused on: discussion of sustainability concepts of energy, water and environment and their relation to global development; analysis of potential scientific and technological processes reflecting energy, water and environment exchange; presentation of energy, water and environment system models and their evaluation; and presentation of multi-criteria assessment of energy, water and environment systems.
