Advances in Environmental and Engineering Research (AEER) is an international peer-reviewed Open Access journal published quarterly online by LIDSEN Publishing Inc. This periodical is devoted to publishing high-quality peer-reviewed papers that describe the most significant and cutting-edge research in all areas of environmental science and engineering. Work at any scale, from molecular biology to ecology, is welcomed.

Main research areas include (but are not limited to):

  • Atmospheric pollutants
  • Air pollution control engineering
  • Climate change
  • Ecological and human risk assessment
  • Environmental management and policy
  • Environmental impact and risk assessment
  • Environmental microbiology
  • Ecosystem services, biodiversity and natural capital
  • Environmental economics

About This Topic

Decarbonisation is one of the most significant contributors to climate improvement. Therefore, there is an international imperative, with the largest-ever international coalition dedicated to attaining net carbon neutrality by 2050. However, carbon emission mitigation must take into account social and economic needs and do not reduce the energy security.

The complexity of the issue, including the need to take into account that countries are at different stages of energy development and that decarbonisation cannot lead to energy poverty, means that the Advances in Environmental and Engineering Research (AEER) has decided to dedicate a special issue "Challenges and Constraints of Decarbonisation Strategies" to bringing together manuscripts that focus on strategies and methods to enhance social, environmental and economic sustainability in the decarbonisation process.

We are looking for original articles that address the following topics:

The approach towards carbon transition;

The effect of the transition to a net-zero carbon-built environment in different societies and countries;

Case studies of successful real-life scenarios, including those that cover various research methodological approaches with an emphasis on sustainable communities;

The impact of research on well-being.

Keywords

Sustainability; Well-being; Energy and climate; Decarbonisation; Sustainable transition; Case studies; Research methodology

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted through the LIDSEN Submission System. Detailed information on manuscript preparation and submission is available in the Instructions for Authors. All submitted articles will be thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process and will be processed following the Editorial Process and Quality Control policy. Upon acceptance, the article will be immediately published in a regular issue of the journal and will be listed together on the special issue website, with a label that the article belongs to the Special Issue.
