Low Carbon Economy and Sustainable Development

Dear Colleagues,

With the rapid growth of the global economy, ecological and environmental problems such as climate warming, resource depletion, and population growth have become increasingly serious. Changing the economic development model has become a necessary step for achieving global sustainable development. Promoting a low-carbon economy that contributes to economic and social development and resource environmental protection has become a main trend for countries to implement low-carbon transformation. However, in the face of the complex and changing development environment and ecological issues, it is necessary to study the relationship between the economic development model and environmental issues from a macro or micro perspective and reflect on how to effectively measure the level of the sustainable development index. This theme is open to research on environmental economics and management issues around low carbon economies environmental protection and governance, and sustainable development, including but not limited to the following topics:

1. Economic reasons affecting environmental behavior.
2. The carbon footprint and emission reduction effects of economic behavior.
3. Environmental studies of economic behavior from a multidisciplinary perspective.
4. Environmental economic issues in energy production and consumption.
5. Carbon emission reduction, carbon cycle quilt, and other sustainable ecological projects.
6. Carbon finance and trade, green production and consumption, regulation, and taxation policies.
7. Research on the relationship between terrestrial ecosystem and climate change and human activities.
8. Research on environmentally induced disasters.
9. Environmental regulations evaluation and improvements.

We look forward to receiving your response, and, if there is any further information you require, please do not hesitate to contact us.
