Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Global warming has become a severe threat to the environment and human health, and has received extensive attention from the international community and academia. The major contributor to global warming was widely reported to be the growth of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from human activities, and thereinto, urban carbon emission is an important part of global greenhouse gas emissions. With social development and population increase, the energy consumption and CO2 emissions of cities will continue to increase, supporting the requirements of economic growth and human living. Therefore, the assessment of urban carbon emissions using multi-source data (e.g., remote sensing) is a vital research topic. For this Special Issue, we would like to invite you to submit original research that assesses urban carbon emissions using multi-source data, working to develop effective ways to reduce urban carbon emissions and realize carbon neutrality.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Urban carbon emissions monitoring and calculation;
- Spatio-temporal distributions of urban carbon emissions;
- Simulation and analysis of urban carbon dynamics;
- Carbon sources and carbon sinks in urban and rural areas;
- Urban transportation and energy consumption;
- Emission reduction technology towards carbon neutrality;
- Policies and optimization paths of carbon neutrality;
- Green building and low-carbon city;
- Land use/cover changes and carbon emissions;
- Urban form and carbon emissions;
- Driving mechanism of urban carbon emissions;
- Pattern and path of low-carbon construction.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
