[5] Stanislav Edward Shmelev authored the widely used[6] textbook 'Ecological economics: sustainability in practice (ISBN 978-94-007-1971-2).
Several applied cases have been published now: In 2008-2009, Stanislav Shmelev produced a major report for IUCN where he presented a rationale for the Multidimensional Assessment of Ecosystems and Biodiversity.
In 2009, the United Nations Environment Programme invited Shmelev to be a reviewer for The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB) Report[7][dead link] In 2018, Stanislav Shmelev published a photography album entitled 'Ecosystems', which hoped to show the futility of measuring ecological worth with monetary value.
[citation needed] The innovative paper published in Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews adopts a multi-criteria perspective and extends the UK decarbonisation scenarios by dimensions that are often overlooked, namely, employment, land use, water use and diversity of the energy mix *Shmelev, Stanislav E.; Van Den Bergh, Jeroen C.J.M.
In 2009, Shmelev was interviewed for the European Union Euronews Channel on the issues of renewable energy and sustainable development[8] The issue of sustainable cities has been dealt with by Shmelev in the context of the interdisciplinary linkages in the development of large cities.
