Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The growing interest in increasing the range of strategies that aim at achieving sustainable development in the energy sector is certainly warranted. Achieving this, however, requires particular steps to ensure that society is able to transition towards sustainability and the prevention of global warming. If realized, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on affordable and clean energy (SDG7) and climate action (SDG13) could be fundamental to facilitating such steps. The path to implementing SDG7 and SDG13 could be through the adoption of emission reduction strategies and policies, energy systems modelling and analysis, and replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy solutions.

We are pleased to announce that our Special Issue on “Strategies to Mitigate Climate Change” will be hosted by the open access journal Atmosphere and will be published in the fall of 2024. The aim is to enhance scientific understanding and the use of appropriate techniques to formulate best ways to reduce emissions and, ultimately, realize Sustainable Development Goals 7 and 13.

Original research, systematic review, meta-analysis, and model studies related to the theme of “Strategies to Mitigate Climate Change” are welcome. Example topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Optimization of systems and processes to reduce the emission of GHGs;
  • Meta-analysis of techniques to reduce the emission of GHGs in an energy intensive sector;
  • Review of modeling techniques to formulate polices to realizing SDG 7 and SDG 13;
  • The pros and cons of mitigating strategies on climate change: a review;
  • Review of policies to enhance strategies to mitigate climate change.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Atmosphere is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
