Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
To simultaneously solve the dilemmas of energy demand, waste management, and greenhouse gas emission for communities globally, the development and deployment of green technologies should be a viable step towards environmental sustainability. The development of green technology could reduce carbon dependency, promote resource and energy efficiency and lessen environmental degradation. This would result in the improvement of human well-being and social equity, while significantly reducing environmental risks and ecological scarcities towards the sustainable development goal. The scope of green technologies includes, but is not limited to, green agriculture, green tourism, green building, green transportation, green energy, green infrastructure (engineered natural systems), and green water treatment.
This Special Issue collects original research and critical reviews about scientific and technical information on recent advances in the deployment of green technologies for a sustainable environment. The primary areas of interest of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, (1) green agriculture for sustainable materials management; (2) waste-to-energy and –resource supply chain, such as (co-)anaerobic digestion of agricultural and/or organic wastes for a circular bioeconomy; (3) green infrastructure and/or engineered natural systems for nutrient control; (4) green separation technologies for the recovery of value-added resources; (5) smart technology for real-time monitoring, control and assessment; (6) strategic management by optimizing the utilization efficiency of food, energy, land and/or water resources.

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. Environments is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1800 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.
