Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The convergence of digital intelligence and environmental sustainability is reshaping the landscape of electronic commerce. As nations pursue carbon peaking and neutrality goals—the so-called “dual carbon” strategy—emerging digital technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), big data, blockchain, and the metaverse are fundamentally transforming business models, operational practices, and value creation in e-commerce.
This Special Issue on “Digital Intelligence Empowering the Dual Carbon Strategy and E-Commerce” aims to explore the theoretical foundations, practical applications, and policy implications of integrating smart technological innovations with sustainable, low-carbon commerce. We encourages interdisciplinary investigations into how intelligent systems are accelerating the green transformation of e-commerce ecosystems, enhancing inclusivity, resilience, and ecological responsibility.
We welcome original research and practical applications related to (but not limited to) the following areas:
- Intelligent marketing and carbon-conscious consumer engagement
- Generative AI in commerce: green innovation and content creation
- Digital commerce transformation under carbon-neutrality goals
- Metaverse commerce and its environmental and social implications
- AI-driven consumption and behavior-based emission reduction
- Cross-border e-commerce and sustainable global value chains
- Digital trade governance in the context of green regulation
- Rural e-commerce as a tool for equitable and low-carbon development
- Supply chain resilience and carbon-aware logistics systems
- Green e-commerce practices and carbon accounting frameworks
- Sustainable commerce infrastructure and platform energy efficiency
- Low-carbon e-commerce models: metrics, strategies, and best practices
- Inclusive e-commerce for vulnerable and underrepresented populations
We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions.
