Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past century, human activity has led to significant environmental changes, with the depletion of natural resources occurring faster than ever before in human history.
While the 21st century has brought remarkable advances in technology and social development, the simultaneous rise in industrial activity and the global population—now exceeding 8 billion—clearly shows that humanity cannot override the fundamental principles of nature.
The rapid expansion of industry, technology, and population presents growing challenges in securing the basic resources needed for food production—most notably, access to clean water, arable land, and energy.
As a result, environmental protection has evolved from a grassroots movement into a central development strategy embraced by international organizations, national governments, NGOs, and leading global economies. This shift calls for a multidisciplinary approach aimed at achieving sustainability and sustainable development in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the European Green Deal, through solutions that are economically, technologically, and socially viable.
As the Guest Editor of the Special Issue “A Multidisciplinary Approach to Sustainability Volume II”, I am pleased to invite researchers from all scientific disciplines to contribute original work that supports the advancement of these global goals.
This Special Issue aims to explore environmental issues from social, technological, and economic perspectives.
We welcome original research papers, review articles, and short communications that present novel, multidisciplinary approaches to environmental protection, sustainable development, and the promotion of healthier and more resilient ways of living.
Prof. Dr. Mirna Habuda-Stanić
Guest Editor
