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
The global transition toward sustainable energy systems is reshaping the relationships among governments, industry, communities, and other stakeholders. Achieving climate goals while ensuring energy security, economic competitiveness, and social legitimacy requires innovative governance approaches that address technological, environmental, and societal challenges simultaneously.
This Special Issue invites original research, reviews, case studies, and policy analyses that examine the governance of energy transitions in the context of climate change mitigation and adaptation. Contributions may explore topics such as energy policy and regulation, nuclear energy governance, renewable energy integration, stakeholder engagement, public trust, energy justice, sustainability assessment, energy security, climate resilience, and emerging governance frameworks for low-carbon development. Interdisciplinary perspectives that bridge engineering, environmental science, economics, management, and public policy are particularly encouraged.
The objective of this Special Issue is to advance scholarly understanding of how effective governance mechanisms can support equitable, transparent, resilient, and sustainable energy transitions in diverse national and regional contexts.
