Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Energy underpins all human activities and is interconnected with human development: it fuelled and accelerated the first industrial revolution more than two centuries ago and, since then, it has significantly contributed to near-continuous economic growth on a global level. Access to sustainable energy services is also a fundamental condition for sustainable development, in terms of poverty eradication, zero hunger, good health and well-being, and quality education. Therefore, affordable and clean energy is explicitly mentioned as one of the 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) presented by the United Nations in 2015.
This Special Issue aims to gather manuscripts that identify trends, and new, high-quality theoretical, methodological, or practical approaches focusing on this topic. Manuscripts using, e.g., multi-criteria analysis, spatial analysis, financial analysis, and cluster analysis are especially welcome. Conceptual and empirical papers are invited from scientists, statisticians, economists, and environmentalists that deal with various economic, environmental, management, and other aspects of achieving affordable and clean energy in the near and distant future.
Dr. Roman VavrekGuest Editor
