Special Issue Information
Dear colleague,
This special issue of Sustainability explores the complex interrelationships between society's need for energy and the ongoing quest for a sustainable world. This involves energy production, human and ecosystem health, pollution prevention, resource allocation and associated economic factors, patterns of consumption, policy development, and regulatory approaches. Papers that cross over among two or more of these aspects aspects are especially sought. Papers can provide comprehensive reviews of the latest technological developments, or can address a variety of topics such as life cycle assessment of energy systems, schemes for the integration of human activities with the natural environment, processes or designs for resilient human-engineered systems, analyses of human behavior in relation to product or energy use, and best management practices.
