The Relationship between Energy Transition, Economic Growth and Social Development

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, the climate change situation has become more and more severe, and at the same time, a series of economic, social and environmental problems have emerged globally, which have affected the sustainable development of human society. Energy transition, economic growth and sustainable social development have become the focus of universal attention. It is worth noting that in the process of promoting energy transition, countries will undergo systematic changes in the form of energy industry restructuring, production organization model changes and technological breakthroughs, which will have far-reaching impacts on their economic development and social sustainability. Therefore, it is natural to explore the relationship between energy transition, economic growth and sustainable social development.

This SI is a call for papers on the topic “The Relationship between Energy Transition, Economic Growth and Social Development”. The theme of this Special Issue revolves around sustainability research, economics and social economy, all highly connected with the objectives of Sustainability. We hope that this Special Issue will help us realize more sustainable societies.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

1. Energy transition
2. Economic growth
3. Social development
4. Renewable energy
5. Energy efficiency
6. Energy policy
7. Economic policy
8. Economic impact
9. Green growth
10. Environmental information disclosure

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
