Energy Ecology and Environment

期刊简介：The rising concern about a potential global energy crisis and its impact on the economy and environment calls for a transition from the current development paradigm to a sustainable one. Such a transition poses a significant challenge for scientists, industries and governments requiring innovative energy and environmental policies to save energy and reduce environmental and social impacts. Management towards a low carbon future needs to be cognizant of the social, cultural and institutional as well as the biophysical and geographical context within which it takes place taking advantage of the synergies provided be ecosystem services and technological regimes developing nature-inspired production and consumption systems. There is already plenty of literature on these problems, along with an abundance of journals with disciplinary territories and sharp boundaries on the intellectual landscape. However, we need a problem-oriented forum, transcending disciplinary boundaries, for putting the pieces together promoting informed discussions of an integrated vision of a sustainable human and natural world.   Energy, Ecology and Environment (E3) is a cross-discipline forum for investigating the energy production and its impacts on ecosystems and environment, clean energy production, sustainable management of global natural resources, sustainable industrial and agricultural production and emission reduction technologies. Preference is given to papers from theoretical, observational and experimental research having cross and interdisciplinary aspects on following themes at field, landscape, regional or global level. Global energy crisis and its impact on economy and environmentClean and green sources of energyEnergy economics including life cycle assessment and auditingEcological and environmental impacts of energy production including greenhouse gases emission, pollution and climate changeEmission reduction, carbon captures and storage including soil carbon sequestrationSustainable management of global natural resources including forest, land, air and waterSustainable industrial and agricultural productionSustainable cities and waste management strategiesAdvanced energy storage and applicationsSustainable transport and intelligent transportation systemSustainable nanotechnology
