Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Global warming caused by excessive carbon emissions has disrupted the Earth’s ecosystem and constantly threatens the living environment of organisms. In response to global climate change, the United Nations reached a series of international conventions, the most important of which was the Paris Agreement after the Kyoto Protocol. In this historical document, countries across the globe recognize their role in climate mitigation and pledge to reduce carbon emissions. For instance, OECD nations have committed to reaching carbon neutrality by 2050. The Chinese government has also been actively implementing the Paris Agreement, putting forward specific goals and measures for carbon peaking by 2030 and neutrality by 2060 and taking initiatives to fulfill its international obligations of carbon emission reduction. Current pledges of carbon peaking and neutrality around the globe usher in significant opportunities and challenges for sustainable development of society, the economy, and the environment. This Special Issue aims to contribute to this important topic and welcomes theoretical and empirical research that helps understand decision-making in sustainable development in the carbon peaking and neutrality era from a wide variety of angles. Specific topics include, but are not limited to: ecological and carbon footprint, green product design and remanufacturing, sustainable development, environmental management, road map of zero-carbon and negative-carbon technologies, sustainable operations and supply chain management, carbon trading and green finance, new energy and renewable energy utilization, and national or regional energy policies.
