Greening the Atmosphere: Strategies for Air Pollution and Global Sustainability

Dear Colleagues,

Air pollution is an important global issue that has a significant impact on climate change and air quality, having detrimental effects on human health. Sustainable development strategies, such as emission reduction measures and green energy transitions, are crucial for air pollution control. However, these sustainable strategies have seen an unbalanced development in the recent several decades. For example, air pollutant emissions in developed countries have decreased dramatically due to environmental measures being implemented, whereas emissions in developing countries have increased substantially due to the rapid expansion of industries and the process of urbanization. The understanding of air pollutant emissions and control measures in different regions are important considerations for strengthening inter-state cooperation and promoting global sustainable development.

Therefore, we proposed a Special Issue on the topic of “Greening the Atmosphere: Strategies for Air Pollution and Global Sustainability” in Sustainability. In this Special Issue, we welcome original research articles and reviews. Research areas may include the following:

1. Estimation of global air pollutant emissions based on multiple methods.
2. 2. The sustainable development strategies of air pollution control in different regions.
3. Economic and social impacts of air pollutant emissions.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
