To facilitate improved sustainability and accelerate the achievement of the UN-SDGs, the implications on the pillars of sustainability (environmental, economic, societal) must be properly understood and appropriate synergies among the involved processes have to be identified and exploited. These include industrial and business processes, combined with the daily life of human society. Three high-level conferences have covered overlapping but different aspects of these key topics:

27th Conference “Process Integration, Modelling and Optimization for Energy Saving and Pollution Reduction” PRES’24, (https://pres24.com.cn/)Conference on Sustainability COS2024 (https://cos.sze.hu/home)The 10th International Conference on Low Carbon Asia (https://iclcaconf.com/)

The sub-topics covered in this special issue include:

  • Process Integration
  • Process Analysis
  • Modelling, and Optimization
  • Energy saving and clean technologies
  • Waste Management and Circular Economy
  • Footprint minimization and mitigation
  • Operations and supply chain management
  • Industrial implementations
  • IT Solutions for Sustainability
  • Urban Integration and Built Environment
