Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Methane is a potent greenhouse gas with a relatively short atmospheric lifetime compared to other greenhouse gases (GHG). This characteristic makes it a strong candidate for mitigation strategies aimed at achieving short-term impacts on climate change. However, from a sustainability perspective, focusing solely on a single aspect of the problem is overly simplistic. Integrated approaches are needed to assess, adopt, and implement strategies that both adapt productive systems to the current effects of climate change and mitigate emissions of GHG that intensify global warming.
Effective decision-making requires accurate and high-quality information, making the monitoring of GHG emissions crucial for developing comprehensive mitigation and adaptation strategies. This Special Issue aims to gather innovative academic contributions that advance this integrated approach, covering various emission sources, including agriculture, livestock production, urban areas, and the energy sector, among others. Additionally, this Special Issue emphasises a systemic perspective by incorporating carbon footprint assessments, carbon sequestration potential, and life cycle analyses that account for emissions of methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and carbon dioxide (CO2). By building upon and expanding the existing literature, this Special Issue will provide novel insights into monitoring methodologies, technological advancements, and policy frameworks that support sustainable and science-based decision-making in climate change mitigation and adaptation.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
