Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ecosystem sustainability is quite important to social and economic development. But it has been threatened by indiscriminate carbon emissions and environmental pollution in recent decades. As the world’s largest carbon emitter, China proposed the goal of "carbon peaking and carbon neutrality" in 2020 to achieve the highest quality and cleanest development. Therefore, how to accelerate industrial energy upgrading through technological transformation to achieve sustainable development has become an important issue of concern. To achieve a new development pattern in the energy economy and ensure sustainable environmental development, "Energies" seeks to publish high-quality articles to help understand the role of the energy industry in environmental sustainable development.
The Special Issue will consider all aspects of energy economics and environmental protection. Indicative topics for this special issue could be but are not limited to the following:
Energy consumption and green technology innovation;
Evaluation of the effectiveness of environmental policies;
The impact of energy use on the environment and climate;
Environmental policy and energy equity;
Financial instruments supporting energy transformation;
A new economic growth model towards carbon neutrality;
Energy security and energy efficiency;
Digital development & carbon emission& environment protection;
Climate change and inequality.
