Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a Special Issue on “Empowering Youth for a Sustainable Future: The Role of Advanced Technology”. This Special Issue aims to bring together original research articles and reviews that explore the potential of advanced technology to empower young people to shape a more sustainable future.
The importance of youth empowerment in achieving a sustainable future cannot be overstated. Young people are the leaders of tomorrow, and it is essential that they are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and resources needed to drive positive change in their communities and beyond. Advanced technology, including digital tools and data analytics, can play a vital role in supporting youth empowerment efforts.
The scope of this Special Issue is broad, and we welcome contributions from a range of disciplines, including but not limited to environmental science, social science, engineering, and education. Potential research areas may include:
- Innovative approaches to engaging young people in sustainability issues;
- The role of advanced technology in promoting youth-led activism and advocacy;
- The use of digital tools and data analytics to track progress toward sustainability goals;
- Strategies for building capacity and skills in young people to drive sustainability initiatives;
- The impact of youth empowerment on social and environmental outcomes;
- The role of education in promoting youth empowerment for sustainability.
We invite authors to submit original research articles, reviews, and perspective pieces that contribute to our understanding of the role of advanced technology in empowering young people to shape a sustainable future. All submissions will be subject to rigorous peer review.
We believe that this Special Issue aligns with the scope of our journal and will be of interest to a broad readership. We look forward to receiving your contributions.
