Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is a follow-up of the first Special Issue entitled “Greenhouse Gas Emission: Sources, Monitoring and Control” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/atmosphere/special_issues/236IE535N2) published in Atmosphere and will cover all aspects of Greenhouse Gas Emission.
The contemporary rise in atmospheric greenhouse gases (GHGs) starkly contrasts the goals of the Paris Agreement, underscoring an immediate need for robust action. In recent years, innovations in GHG monitoring have expanded from terrestrial stations to sophisticated satellite platforms, offering unprecedented spatial and temporal granularity. These advancements pave the way for a nuanced understanding of emissions, encompassing urban centers to vast global landscapes.
Yet, it is the control and mitigation strategies that stand as pivotal game changers in our quest to neutralize GHG emissions. Rapid technological breakthroughs are driving tangible reductions in anthropogenic emissions from sectors like power plants, mining, and fossil fuel industries. These range from carbon capture and storage techniques to fuel-switching and efficiency improvements. Biogenic sources, such as wetlands, though historically underemphasized, are now in the spotlight with emerging, sustainable management practices.
However, while we celebrate these advancements, a critical eye is essential. Many new methodologies need stringent validation against uncertainty metrics and scalability challenges. A single solution, no matter how groundbreaking, will not suffice. A synergistic approach, marrying state-of-the-art monitoring with diverse control measures and informed policies, offers the most promising route. Such an integrated strategy not only promises to reduce the global GHG burden but does so in a pragmatic, cost-effective manner, bringing us closer to a climate-neutral future.

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.
