Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The global community has been observing the increasing trend of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and the challenging consequences of climate change. The dynamics of GHG emissions need to be investigated from a wide range of perspectives to understand the underlying factors and determine appropriate climate change mitigation goals at different levels, including national, city, and corporate levels. For nearly three decades, the United Nations (UN) has been bringing together almost every country on the earth for global climate summits—called the Conference of the Parties (COP)—where the entity puts immense efforts to strengthen energy security and reduce GHG emissions by meeting growing energy demand. Their efforts accelerate the need for large-scale renewable energy resources (RER) integration into existing electricity grids. The intermittent nature of the dominant RER, i.e., solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, poses operational and technical challenges in their effective integration by hampering power system reliability and stability.
This Special Issue provides a unique platform to present state-of-the-art research findings and observations associated with RER technologies, bulk integration of RER into the grids, GHG emissions accounting, reporting, and climate change mitigation at different levels. In addition, it aims to facilitate and promote interdisciplinary researchers to provide multi-faced GHG emission management solutions with the incorporation of RER.

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.
