Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Many of the current challenges regarding sustainability result from the interaction of energy, water, and food (EWF) systems. Resolving global environmental issues requires an exploration of the potential risks which exist in the EWF nexus. We aim for this Special Issue to serve as a platform for the presentation of advanced research that investigates the risks in EWF systems associated with the mitigation and adaptation of global environmental change. Possible themes include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Cost–benefit analysis of sustainable transitions in energy, water, or (and) food systems.
- Mitigation and adaptation strategies from EWF systems against global environmental change.
- Integrated assessment of environmental and economic risks in the EWF nexus.
- Innovative techniques to identify the environmental risks regarding EWF systems.
- Potential environmental impacts of the rapid food transition.
- Risk assessment of the hydropower operations and dispatch.
We believe that this Special Issue will provide a thorough examination of the various types and levels of environmental risks encountered by EWF networks. Through the incorporation of innovative analytical methods, we aim to create a forum for exchange among academics, professionals, and policymakers to share insights, best practices, and systematic approaches for assessing and addressing risks within the EWF nexus.
