Reviews, Advances and Applications in Environmental Sustainability

Dear Colleague,

The development of technologies and knowledge related to Environmental Sciences and Technology and the impact of this development on sustainability require an effort from researchers to review the advances and applications achieved.

Often, researchers focus on the development of new scientific and technical knowledge, and their efforts occur simultaneously in different parts of the world. However, the sharing of these advances and their implications for society, the economy, and the environment are often neglected. It is extraordinarily important to think about and evaluate all the knowledge acquired and how it influences our ways of life. Moreover, it is important to share the applications. It is essential to know if we are moving on the right path towards sustainability.

For these reasons, it is necessary to publish a series of review articles that will allow us to determine, in an objective way, the influence of scientific and technological advances and their implications for sustainability. The development of information technologies; problems derived from global warming, land occupation, demographic growth, and waste; renewable energies; and the use of limited natural resources are some of the issues that must be treated from a global point of view. For researchers, the existence of clear and concise articles and reviews on these and other topics and their influence for a more sustainable way of life is essential.

The aim of this Special Issue is to bring together the wide variety of advances achieved in recent years, to examine their influence on the new governance and administration of the planet and its resources, and to determine whether they are effective in achieving sustainability.
