Workshop on game theory for sustainable choices

The application of Nash equilibrium in resolving the conflict between efficiency and cost in selecting sewage treatment systems is an emergent topic in the literature. Traditional decision-making models often prioritize cost minimization, potentially overlooking environmental efficiency. By integrating game theory, particularly Nash equilibrium, that approach demonstrates how decision-makers can balance competing interests to achieve optimal solutions. Using a WWTP selection model, the workshop compares different treatment systems, highlighting Nash equilibrium as a viable alternative for sustainable decision-making. The findings suggest that incorporating strategic interactions among stakeholders can lead to more effective and balanced choices in sewage treatment planning.
