Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Increased human activities and extreme climate events exert great stresses on ecosystems and society. Resources are essential for the sustainability of human society. The sustainable management of resources is therefore critical to address many of the societal challenges we are facing. A multidisciplinary approach, which takes account of the interactions between humans and resource use, can be a fundamental tool for developing cost-effective management strategies and public policies for social and environmental sustainability. The Special Issue will present recent advances in policy analysis, modeling, assessment, planning, and management of a decisive societal and technological transition to an economy based on a sustainable relationship between nature and human wellbeing.
This Special Issue covers but is not limited to such topics as:
- Environment, health, demographic change, and wellbeing;
- Food security, sustainable agriculture, and forestry;
- Secure, clean, and efficient energy;
- Smart, green, and integrated transport;
- Climate action and resource efficiency;
- Inclusive, innovative, and reflective societies;
- Secure societies—protecting the freedom and security of Europe and its citizens;
- Natural resource management;
- Simulation and modeling;
- Risk assessment;
- Public awareness and involvement;
- Pollution control and innovations in waste treatment technology;
- Ecosystem services and human wellbeing;
- Urban planning and management.
