Air Pollution, Renewable Electricity Generation and Global Sustainability

Dear Colleagues,

In line with considerations and discussions at the Conference of the Parties (COP26) which was held in Glasgow, United Kingdom in 2021, there is a gap in the literature to document what we know and what we do not know about the various dynamic determinants of air pollution, as well as the use of both renewable and non-renewable energy sources for human activities. Consequently, contribution to knowledge is required to match with the outcomes and agreements from COP26 on mitigating climate crisis globally. It is also notable that the sources of air pollution ranges from the use of energy for electricity, power, tourism, agriculture, and several other aspects of human activity. Thus, the focus of this Special Issue is to examine how renewable electricity generation and consumption influences air pollution and emissions in the bid for attaining global sustainability post-COP26. This extends to papers focusing on modelling, empirical analysis, simulations, as well as review and theoretical articles in this area of research. Articles that focus on global sustainability from other thematic areas, such as management, finance, education, power, technology, organizational behavior, are also welcomed. It is vital, however, to ensure that this is adequately connected to atmosphere and air pollution using any form of data-driven approach and/or case studies. Studies that adopt new and novel evidence-based analytical tools are particularly encouraged.
