Special Issue Information

Aim and Scope

Over the next decade, the global scientific community must take on the challenge of delivering the knowledge required to support efforts to achieve sustainable development in the context of global environmental change. Solution-focused, strategic, interdisciplinary, long-term research is needed to improve our knowledge of the social-environmental risks facing humanity and to provide science-based support for actions to achieve sustainable development. We rapidly need to deepen our understanding of how the Earth system operates in response to human pressures, improve our ability to predict future risk patterns, and explore social transformations in the world that can overcome barriers to sustainability.

We hope that the Special Issue on “Grand Challenges Initiative: Sustainability and Development” will provide an opportunity for scholars and practitioners to reflect and enhance the understanding of the research field, its links with other scientific fields, as well as its correspondence with sustainability.

This Special Issue aims to collect both original research and review articles regarding applications of experimental or methodological and theoretical approaches in revealing the Sustainability and Development:

  • Climate Change
  • Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure
  • Digital Transformation and Environmental Sustainability
