About this Research Topic
In the wake of escalating climate change and environmental degradation, exploring pathways in environmental economics and low-carbon transition has become crucial. This interdisciplinary field interweaves economic principles with environmental management and policy, seeking viable solutions to mitigate climate impact while fostering sustainable development. The urgent need for energy efficiency, the shift towards renewable energy, and the transformation of land-use planning form the cornerstone of this transition. Simultaneously, understanding low-carbon behavior, alongside the development of green and energy finance, becomes imperative. The circular economy emerges as a transformative concept, redefining traditional economic models to embrace sustainability and resource efficiency.
The primary goal of this Research Topic is to address the multifaceted challenges and opportunities presented by low-carbon transition within the framework of environmental economics. We aim to explore innovative strategies and policies that can effectively reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainable energy use. This includes examining the effectiveness of energy efficiency measures, the potential of renewable energy development, and the impact of low-carbon land-use planning. Furthermore, we seek to understand the dynamics of low-carbon behavior in societies and the pivotal role of finance in supporting green initiatives and renewable energy projects. Through this, we aspire to contribute to the formulation of robust policies and strategies that align economic growth with environmental sustainability, ultimately aiding in climate change mitigation.
This Research Topic welcomes original research, review articles, and policy analysis papers that shed light on the intersection of environmental economics and low-carbon transition. We encourage contributions that focus on:
1. Energy efficiency innovations
2. Climate change mitigation strategies
3. Renewable energy technologies
4. Sustainable land-use planning.
5. Papers exploring the nuances of low-carbon behavioral change, the role of green and energy finance in supporting sustainable projects, and the principles of a circular economy are particularly welcome
We seek manuscripts that offer new insights, empirical evidence, and forward-thinking perspectives that can inform policy and practice. Authors are encouraged to submit interdisciplinary work that combines elements of economics, environmental science, policy studies, and social sciences to provide a comprehensive view of the challenges and solutions in achieving a low-carbon future.
