Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since the industrial revolution, demand for natural resources such as land, water, and energy, has been sharply increasing to meet the needs of a rising global population and continuing economic development. Large quantities carbon emissions have been generated in the process of regional industrial upgrading and resource utilization, which has far-reaching impacts on environmental sustainability. However, the complex coordination mechanisms of these processes remain unclear and require further research. The purpose of this Special Issue is to publish the latest high-quality research on industrial upgrading and regional development taking place as part of a global low-carbon transformation. The energy transition is relevant to achieving better environmental development standards by reducing the use of limited natural resources in the process of reconstructing global value chains. However, several developing countries lack access to advanced technologies and trade globalization and face significant financial constraints, while some developed countries also face problems of the weakening of the driving forces behind emission reductions. This Special Issue explores these trends by discussing the importance of energy transitions, financial and trade globalization, and regional industrial sustainable development.
