Clean Technologies and Environmental Policy - Special Issue by invitation only: Green Urban Transition Towards Low-Carbon Development
Climate change poses a significant, long-term threat to humanity. Transitioning from carbon-emission-intensive urban development to low-carbon solutions is crucial for achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Future city planning should incorporate low-carbon concepts for sustainable green urban development. To attain climate-related SDGs, integrating sustainable urban design, advanced green technologies, and circularity concepts is essential. Inclusive and integrated city planning is vital for green urban development, ensuring resilience and stability while achieving low-carbon context. Recognizing the importance of green urban development, this special issue will present papers assessing recent advancements in temporal, spatial, and technical aspects of green urban technologies and policies for low-carbon emissions mitigation.
Potential topics are listed below:
• Renewable energy use
• Thermal energy in the manufacturing process
• Water and wastewater treatment
• Solid waste management
• Sustainable production and consumption
• Green transportation/low-carbon mobility
• Green urban design
• Green building/township development
• Climate mitigation and adaptation strategies
• Urban agriculture
• Smart IoT for low-carbon development
• Low-carbon policy development
