Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Our society is facing various planetary crises, necessitating sustainable growth. Climate change, global pollution, and biodiversity loss jeopardize human well-being, and fundamental transformations of our economies and lifestyles are required. We must reduce our ecological footprint by changing the way we design, produce, manufacture, distribute, and consume goods and resources and adopting energy-efficient, low-carbon, non-polluting consumption and production patterns, as well as eco-friendly production technologies suitable for the circular economy.
The third edition of this Special Issue “Sustainable Production and Environmentally Responsible Consumption: 3rd Edition” will explore the ways in which we can contribute to sustainable consumption and production by reducing energy consumption and waste, promoting sustainable energy management, responsible purchasing decisions, and energy-efficient production and supply chain operations, and encouraging green energy innovations, eco-design and energy-efficient designs, and responsible lifestyle patterns. Both research and review papers are welcome.
