Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Climate change is a serious challenge facing mankind today. Since the Industrial Revolution, human production activities have produced significant carbon emissions, and ecological, environmental problems have become increasingly serious. Given the international trend, developing a low-carbon economy and achieving green recovery have become global trends. By the end of 2021, 136 countries have pledged to be "carbon neutral", covering 88% of CO2 emissions, 90% of GDP, and 85% of the world's population. Some countries and regions have begun to announce specific implementation plans one after another. For example, as the first industrialized country in the world, Britain adopted the Climate Change Act in 2008 to deal with climate change. In 2020, the European Commission successively adopted European Green Deal and the European Climate Law to ensure the realization of the vision of a carbon-neutral Europe by 2050 in the form of legislation. The global green and low-carbon transition will become an irreversible historical trend.
Specifically, the energy issue is the source of low carbon. The world energy pattern is becoming clean and low carbon, and accelerating energy transformation is the top priority. Environmental improvement is the goal of achieving low carbon. The goal of global greening and energy transition is to improve environmental quality, and environmental factors should be comprehensively considered in low-carbon development. Behavior is an important driver of low-carbon development. The role and mechanism between various influencing factors of low-carbon behavior still need to be explored and explored continuously, and people should be further guided to actively participate in low-carbon actions. Low-carbon development concerns the global green future, and it is particularly important to study low-carbon development from three aspects: energy, environment, and behavior.
