Energy-Environment-Economy Analysis of Carbon Emissions and the Carbon Trading System

Dear Colleagues,

Climate change is a significant global environmental issue influencing governmental policies worldwide. Anthropogenic CO₂ (carbon dioxide) emissions are directly related to quality of life. The goal of sustainable development entails the facilitation of the transition to low-carbon energy sources as the key driver of change in the energy sector. With increased geopolitical instability, the surge in low-carbon solutions, and the realisation that energy sources are crucial for economic growth, carbon emissions have raised global concerns. The literature as well as policy debates have expressed increasing interest in measures mitigating the negative externalities of climate change policies. Carbon trading and carbon taxes represent important tools in reducing carbon emissions. However, reaching a zero-carbon energy system requires a tailored, multidisciplinary approach based on facilitating policies and infrastructure actions.

Keeping in mind the pressing need for reduced carbon emissions, we would like to invite researchers and professionals from universities, enterprises, and governmental units to share thoughts, trends, innovations, and experiences regarding methods aiding the process of transitioning to low-carbon resources. Both original research articles and review articles are welcome.
