Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is time for all of us to do our bit to support global sustainability in action.
At the age of political diversity and economic anarchy, deploying agile strategies and reaching viable long-term sustainability seem to be very difficult endeavors, particularly considering the near-constant increase in energy demand in the global context and the burden of climate change, which is anticipated to worsen with time. Sustainability strategies rely on a series of disciplines: technical, technological, social, political, environmental, ecological, economic, institutional, and global restrictions that make viable decision-making particularly hard.
Thus, this issue welcomes original research and review papers related to energy strategy, policy, acts, regulation, politics, economics, and other topics which are connected to Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
This Special Issue aims to compile a conceptual framework for designing a strategic roadmap for sustainable energy deployment within lifecycle analysis in smart city appraisal. This will deliver a systematic process to exhaustively explore all influential factors. Therefore, this issue calls for papers to propose analyses, tools, techniques, methodologies, procedures, and best practices that assemble challenges in a hierarchy of uncertainties within a viable risk plan priority from initiation to compilation of a strategy.
Additionally, this Special Issue offers the opportunity to engage in practical application of theory through the framing energy strategy and policy within political transitions considering the sustainability dimensions along with energy accessibility, affordability, disparity, safety, security, use efficiency, supply and production efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and environmental impact factors. Various scenarios will be explored to draw a sustainable energy strategy to fit today’s demand (citizens expectation), resources (optimum utilization with high efficiency), and management (government) factors.
