The goal of this Special Issue is to remind the community that economic sustainability is a mandatory prerequisite for environmental sustainability. Editors of this special issue will try to point out concepts that are not only environmentally friendly, but also have the potential to be commercialized on an industrial scale.
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.
Technology development, process optimisation and waste recovery play an essential part in environmental sustainability. However, they will not work without practical considerations. This Special Issue calls for papers demonstrating the integration of technology and policy solutions toward saving resources and emissions.
Green nanotechnology might wind up being the most efficient platform for achieving the goals of the UN 2030 Agenda. The goal of green nanotechnology is to create goods and procedures that are secure, energy-efficient, waste-free, and emit fewer greenhouse gases. Such goods and procedures use renewable resources, and/or their environmental impact is minimal. GN also refers to production techniques that are both economically and environmentally viable. Green chemistry, sustainable engineering, and green manufacturing are some of the other terms that are frequently used in conjunction with green nanotechnology. Green chemistry's concepts can be used to create safer and more environmentally friendly nanomaterials as well as environmentally friendly nano production procedures. Conversely, by utilizing nanotechnology to make manufacturing more environmentally friendly, the concepts of nanoscience can be applied to promote green chemistry.
Therefore, the main objective of this special issue is to publish outstanding research/review papers presenting the latest research in green nanotechnology and their applications in environmental which may play crucial role in SDGs.
The reduction of greenhouse gases is essential for creating a more sustainable environment in which the impacts of climate change are mitigated and reduced. This Special Issue aims to present research that look at the challenges on greenhouse gas emissions as well as strategies and technologies to achieve such a reduction.
