Sustainable consumption is crucial in reducing the growing pressure of environmental crises. This study proposes the Technique of Order Preference by Similarity to the Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) approach to evaluate sustainable consumption toward green growth. The proposed approach assesses criteria weights in Interval Valued Neutrosophic Sets (IVNSs) using the Method of Maximizing Deviation. The proposed method evaluates sustainable consumption for ten selected developed and developing countries, including Canada, France, Japan, China, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. The evaluation process encompasses four main criteria with eight sub-criteria, namely environment (population density, CO), energy (total natural resource rents, renewable electricity), economics (value added of agriculture, forestry, and fishing, GDP per capita), and health (fertility rate, mortality rate). The countries are ranked based on the relative closeness coefficient. The results reveal that two economic sub-criteria are pivotal in the sustainable consumption rankings. Canada emerges as the country with the highest degree of green growth, attributed to its extensive land area and potential for renewable energy. Based on the findings, this study proposes some policy implications for Vietnam, including balancing fertility and mortality rates and regulating economic growth and resource exploitation.
可持续消费对于减轻环境危机日益增长的压力至关重要。本研究提出了一种基于理想解排序法（TOPSIS）的方法，用于评估可持续消费对绿色增长的影响。该方法使用最大偏差法在区间值 Neutrosophic 集（IVNS）中评估标准权重。该方法评估了加拿大、法国、日本、中国、印度尼西亚、韩国、马来西亚、新加坡、泰国和越南等十个选定的发达国家和发展中国家的可持续消费情况。评估过程涵盖了四个主要标准和八个子标准，即环境（人口密度、CO）、能源（自然资源总租金、可再生电力）、经济（农业、林业和渔业增加值、人均 GDP）和健康（生育率、死亡率）。根据相对接近系数对各国进行排名。结果表明，两个经济子标准在可持续消费排名中至关重要。加拿大因其广阔的土地面积和可再生能源潜力，成为绿色增长程度最高的国家。基于研究结果，本研究提出了一些对越南的政策建议，包括平衡生育率和死亡率、调节经济增长和资源开发。
