Carbon Footprint and the Environment

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will be centred on carbon footprint as a way to measure the environmental implications and related management and policies. We call for papers focused on issues such as ways to measure carbon footprint, carbon footprint and land management, carbon footprint and mitigation of climate change, and carbon footprint and environmental pollutants. However, articles related to carbon and environmental relations are also welcomed as these can be the basement of future calculation of carbon footprint.

Human health is closely related to the environment’s health directly and indirectly. A carbon footprint is one way to establish a relationship between man and our environment and to quantify the effects of human activities. However, new attention should be given not only to greenhouse gas emissions but also to solid deposits of materials and wastes, pollutants and management activities, and their relation to the carbon content in the environment. A carbon footprint is not only a consequence of energy consumption and gases emission. To reduce our carbon footprint, we have to pay attention to soil management, land occupation and planning, waste management, and the presence of pollutants and derived substances. All of them have their role in the climate crisis and anthropogenic disasters, soil, air and water pollution, and human health risk.

Scientists, researchers, and policy managers’ contributions are welcome. It is in our mind to translate information from several points to the scientific community, policymakers, and citizens in this Special Issue.

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.
