Challenges and Opportunities for Energy Economics and Policy

Dear Colleagues,

Over the past decade, scientific discussion of the idea of sustainable development has been limited to the need to reduce the negative impact of modern economies on the natural environment. In recent years, however, there has been a change in the narrative and the idea of sustainable development has gained a fuller understanding, emphasising the importance of several key factors: energy economics and policy, the challenges and opportunities of respecting the environment, combined with social progress and economic growth, among others. It is important to emphasise that the concept of sustainable development is now increasingly entering the mainstream of scientific discussion among researchers worldwide, undoubtedly providing an inexhaustible topic for the research and analysis of socio-economic development, directly reflected in the discussion of development policies in all areas of the modern world. This is in line with the propagated idea that the needs of the present generation can be met without diminishing the chances of future generations to meet them.

The aim of the Special Issue is to focus on issues relating to the various problem areas associated with the idea of sustainable development, in particular in terms of the problem areas for economics and finance and management. The keywords listed suggest only a few of the many possibilities. It is important for all potential authors that this Special Issue provides a venue for discussing this research problem from an interdisciplinary perspective. It also responds to the increased interest in this problem and in scientific conferences and symposia around the world. This includes the conference to be held in Poland in 2024 on 9–10 May, entitled 'The New Sustainable Economy—Challenges and Dilemmas'.
