Sustainable Management of Energy Resources, Energy Strategies and Climate Change—2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

The energy sector is strongly associated with economic development, but also with enormous environmental pressure and climate change. Sustainable management of energy resources is a challenge that the global community is facing at environmental, social, economic and political levels. If this challenge is not faced efficiently, it will endanger human health, longevity, and the quality of both life and the environment. On this basis, robust energy strategies are required towards the direction of sustainable management and efficiently encountering climate change. Furthermore, climate change constitutes one of the largest challenges (if not the largest) that humanity will be called to address in the coming years. Climate change has caused nations, leaders, and citizens to focus on the way our societies operate and utilize natural and energy resources. It is of vital importance to support decisions for improving living standards, both in industrialized and developing countries, while minimizing the risks and costs of climate change damage. Mitigation and adaptation options should be under consideration. Promoting energy strategies/alternatives/measures to mitigate but also adapt to climate change is a multidimensional problem.

The present Special Issue, entitled “Sustainable Management of Energy Resources, Energy Strategies and Climate Change—2nd Edition”, provides a platform for policy-makers, scientists, academics, researchers, and practitioners to exchange knowledge and evidence related to energy-oriented alternatives for a roadmap towards a low-carbon economy and sustainable management of energy resources. To that end, we invite papers on innovative technological developments, methodological schemes, and decision support systems, as well as reviews and pilot studies that demonstrate new knowledge and near-to-market solutions within the research agenda of energy strategies for sustainable development, decarbonization, and encountering climate change.
