Sustainable Production and Environmentally Responsible Consumption II

Dear Colleagues,

Our society is facing various planetary crises, necessitating sustainable growth. Climate change, global pollution and biodiversity loss jeopardize human well-being, and fundamental transformation of our economies and lifestyles is required. We must reduce our ecological footprint by changing the way we design, produce, manufacture, distribute, and consume goods and resources and adopting energy-efficient, low-carbon, non-polluting consumption and production patterns, as well as eco-friendly production technologies suitable for the circular economy.

This Special Issue “Sustainable Production and Environmentally Responsible Consumption” will explore ways we can contribute to sustainable consumption and production by reducing energy consumption and waste and promoting sustainable energy management, responsible purchasing decisions and energy-efficient production and supply chain operations and encouraging green energy innovations, eco-design and energy-efficient design and responsible lifestyle patterns. Both research and review papers are welcome.
