Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As global climate change intensifies and natural resources continue to diminish, driving the regional environmental evolution through the integration of sustainable energy resource management and green consumption behaviors is urgently needed. This imperative concerns not only environmental sustainability but also the stable development of economies and the long-term welfare of societies. Innovative strategies for sustainable energy management, the promotion of green consumption behaviors, the development and application of renewable energy technologies, and effective energy conservation measures are all key to achieving environmental sustainability. Additionally, effectively mitigating climate change, reducing environmental degradation, aligning consumer behaviors with sustainable development, and formulating policy interventions to promote energy efficiency are crucial components in advancing regional environmental evolution.
In light of this theme, we look forward to receiving contributions from scholars for this Special Issue titled “Advancing Regional Environmental Evolution: Integrating Sustainable Energy Resource Management and Green Consumption.” Submissions are welcome on topics including innovative strategies for sustainable energy management, empirical studies on the environmental impact of green consumption behaviors, the development and application of renewable energy technologies, efficiency analyses of energy conservation measures, climate change mitigation strategies, solutions to environmental degradation, factors driving sustainable consumer behaviors, and policy interventions to enhance energy efficiency. We especially encourage interdisciplinary research that explores the interaction between energy management and consumer behavior, offering integrated solutions for the sustainable development of regional environments, and joining forces to advance the sustainable development of our global environment.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
