Summary and scope
In the recent century, applied economics has been seeking attention among researchers and economists to develop the sustainability of the domain. Recent research has proven the fundamental economic issues of utilising adequate energy resources and commodities. Thus, the studies of applied economics of energy are growing high considerably.

Sustainable economic growth is gaining commerciality and is highlighted by climate moderations, greenhouse effects, and its consequences. Increased output and consumption are likely to boost economic growth to a greater extent. Indeed, few forms of energy economic growth are expected to bring drastic changes in maintaining environmental sustainability. On the contrary, the environmental impact of economic growth indulges a higher consumption rate of energy resources, more significant pollution, global warming, and mitigation of ecological habitats. Specifically, individual humans possess higher potentiality to give over resources to shield the sustainability of an environment and alleviate the adverse impacts of pollution. In applied economics, environmental sustainability relies on the factors that relate to the environment to deal with natural resources and circumvent the imperil factors that hold the ability for future generations to meet the essential needs. Moreover, applied economics of energy is encountered to maintain the sustainability of the environment that deals with various factors such as monitoring the long-term health of the environment, focusing on intergenerational decision making, enhancing renewable resources, encountering social welfare, and protection of the ecological structure. Research by economists reveals that studies on natural resources with economic impact are essential for managing the types of ecosystem and financial capital to control the flow of global service to fetch the higher sustainability of the environment appreciably. Eventually, energy economics deals with the construction of intelligent transport systems, buildings, the environment, and educational institutions that enforce higher possibilities to enlarge the sustainability of the domain.

This Special Issue provides various opportunities for many scholars and academicians to discuss certain applied economics studies for developing energy and maintaining the sustainability of the environment. However, the research focuses on the challenges and objectives for sustaining power and stability of the domain.  Limitations include a more cost-effective system, inflation effect, higher-cost transition system, monopoly specialisation, etc.  Researchers and practitioners are invited to present theoretical and empirical research against this background.

Potential topics include but are not limited to:

  • Emerging trends and applications of energy economics for environmental sustainability
  • Applied economics: Trends, perspectives and applications
  • Fundamentals and objectives for the implication of economic growth for a sustainable environment Frontier applications of applied economics
  • Insights of applied economics for the development of a sustainable environment
  • Limitations and objectives for the incorporation of trends in applied economics
  • Future perspectives of applied economics for a stable environment
  • Need of substantial policies and regulations for the development of a sustainable environment
  • Applications of applied economics for stable growth in the environment
  • Research studies of applied economics for the enhancement of a stable environment
  • Contributions of governmental and non-governmental organisations for the change of a stable environment
  • Current challenges and objectives for the incorporation of trends in applied economics for the development of a sustainable environment

Submission guidelines
All papers must be prepared in accordance with the Instructions for Authors at:
https://www.springer.com/journal/40866/submission-guidelines (this opens in a new tab).  Authors should submit online via the submission site (this opens in a new tab) and select article type "SI - Applied Economics of Energy and Environment in Sustainability".

Submitted papers should present original, unpublished work, relevant to one of the topics of the Special Issue. All papers will be evaluated on the basis of relevance, significance of contribution, technical quality, scholarship, and quality of presentation by at least two reviewers. It is the policy of the journal that no submission, or substantially overlapping submission, be published or be under review at another journal or conference at any time during the review process. Final decisions on all papers are made by the Editors-in-Chief.
