Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of sustainability has grown exponentially during the last 20 years. The concept of sustainable development is regarded as the one of the most successful approaches to support strong economic and social development. Development and maintenance of a sustainable environment is one of the major challenges that mankind is facing today. One should always consider a sustainable alternative under all circumstances, so that the limited amounts of natural resources can meet the requirements of the ever-increasing population. Sustainable development stands for meeting the needs of present generations without jeopardizing the ability of future generations to meet their own needs—in other words, a better quality of life for everyone, now and for generations to come. It offers a vision of progress that integrates immediate and longer-term objectives, local and global action. It also regards social, economic and environmental issues as inseparable and interdependent components of human progress. This issue is aimed at providing the readers a comprehensive summary of the advanced sustainability case studies based on the current needs of the corporations and governments using field work, IT, and technology. This issue invites the authors to submit papers that exploit the use of advanced concepts in solving environmental sustainabilty-related problems. It is strongly recommended that the authors provide a detailed description of the relevant procedures adopted in their respective studies. The papers may range from data collection to modeling to technology development.
This Special Issue on environmental sustainability and applications invites you to submit papers across the broader spectrum of environmental science and engineering (e.g., life cycle assessment, sustainability, renewable energy, sustainable communities, university sustainability, modeling, data analysis, databases, technology, climate change, and online learning). The submission of research work by interdisciplinary teams and multi-country groups are of significant interest.
