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
- Control and monitoring of pollutants
- Remediation of polluted soils and water
- Fate and transport of contaminants
- Water and wastewater treatment engineering
- Solid waste treatment
Advances in Environmental and Engineering Research publishes a variety of article types (Original Research, Review, Communication, Opinion, Comment, Conference Report, Technical Note, Book Review, etc.). We encourage authors to be succinct; however, authors should present their results in as much detail as necessary. Reviewers are expected to emphasize scientific rigor and reproducibility.

About This Topic
Increasing climate risks and resource constraints underscore the need for integrated approaches that accelerate decarbonisation while strengthening resilience. This Special Issue aims to advance interdisciplinary knowledge on pathways that enable built environment to achieve ambitious climate mitigation goals while enhancing environmental sustainability, economic vitality, and social resilience. We invite original research, review articles, case studies, policy analyses, and methodological contributions that explore innovative strategies, technologies, governance mechanisms, and community-led initiatives supporting the transition to net-zero and climate-resilient building systems.
Submissions may address, but are not limited to, the following themes:
- Smart cities, digital technologies, artificial intelligence, and data-driven climate governance
- Urban climate policy, governance, and institutional innovation
- Community engagement, citizen participation, and behavioural change
- Circular economy approaches and sustainable resource management
- Energy-efficient buildings and low-carbon construction
- Renewable energy integration in cities and communities
- Climate justice, equity, and inclusive urban transitions
- Sustainable transport, mobility transitions, and active travel
- Nature-based solutions for climate mitigation and adaptation
- Resilient infrastructure and critical urban systems for sustainable development
- Monitoring, evaluation, and indicators for sustainable built environments and resilient communities
- Climate finance, green investment, and economic instruments for decarbonisation
- Water–energy–mobility nexus approaches in sustainable cities
- Comparative international case studies and lessons from practice
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.
