Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to a Special Issue titled "Advancing Sustainable Development Through Artificial Intelligence (AI)" in the Sustainability journal. As the world faces the pressing challenges of climate change, resource depletion, and social inequality, the role of AI in driving sustainable development has become increasingly significant. AI offers the potential to optimize resource usage, enhance decision-making processes, and build more resilient and equitable systems, making it a critical area of research in our journey toward a sustainable future.
This Special Issue aims to explore the intersection of AI and sustainable development, focusing on how AI technologies can be leveraged to address a broad range of applications while ensuring a cohesive collection of high-impact articles.
We welcome submissions on the following themes:
- AI for Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation
- AI-driven Resource Management (e.g., Water, Energy, Agriculture)
- Smart Cities and Sustainable Urban Planning
- AI in Environmental Monitoring and Conservation
- Ethical and Social Implications of AI in Sustainable Development
- AI-based Decision Support Systems for Sustainable Practices
- Integration of AI with IoT for Sustainable Solutions
We look forward to receiving your contributions and showcasing innovative research that advances the field of sustainable development through the application of AI.
