It is our pleasure to invite you to submit your work to this Special Issue entitled “Environmental Sustainability in IR 4.0”, dealing with the latest technologies, applications and approaches to advance overall environment components including energy, water resources, soil, food sustainability, human health, ecology, material consumption and pollution monitoring. With the advancement in science and technology under IR 4.0, the development in all these fields must be also evolve towards the reduction and mitigation of environmental impacts at all stages from the production process to consumption activities. With that in mind, the integration of science and technology in these fields is crucial to provide the latest insights and information to the existing researchers, educators and industrial stakeholders in the field. Since environmental studies is an emerging field, we invite literature reviews and state-of-the-art papers related to research, development, and application in the topics below and other related domains.
A wide range of topics will be covered, including but not limited to:
- New and renewable sources of energy.
- Sustainable water consumption and conservation.
- Soil and hydrogeology management.
- Sustainable food consumption and production.
- Heath-related aspects of sustainability.
- Development and technologies in industrial processes.
- Green technologies.
- Sustainable development of cities and communities.
- Pollution monitoring and management.
- Waste management.
