Editorial
The connection of economy, the environment, and energy has grown more apparent in the twenty-first century. Economic inequality, energy security, and climate change are becoming intertwined global issues rather than discrete problems. Innovative, multidisciplinary strategies that make use of scientific research, policy formation, and technology breakthroughs are needed to address problems. The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) concurrently underscore the necessity of providing affordable, dependable, sustainable, and modern energy and environment for everybody, while addressing climate change and fostering inclusive economic growth. Energy systems are experiencing swift transformations due to the emergence of renewable technologies; however, these developments must be harmonized with environmental sustainability and economic viability. Notwithstanding the pressing nature of these concerns, research frequently remains compartmentalized among distinct areas. Economists do cost-benefit calculations, environmental scientists evaluate ecological implications, and engineers innovate energy systems or sustainable environment. Although these contributions are essential, the intricacy of global concerns necessitates a platform that synthesizes different viewpoints. In light of this, we are pleased to present the Journal of Energy, Environment, and Economy, a peer-reviewed scholarly forum devoted to investigating and resolving these important crossovers.
The mission of Energy, Environment, and Economy is to advance knowledge and solutions at the intersection of energy, environment, and economics. Our vision is to become a leading platform for innovative research that bridges disciplinary divides, informs policy, and drives sustainable development. We welcome contributions that:
I) Promote technological innovations for energy engineering and research: Research on emerging technologies such as biomass conversion, hydrogen energy, fuel cells, carbon capture and storage, solar thermal applications, wind energy technology, battery technology, hydro Power, geothermal technology, smart grids and other related topics provided that such topics are within the context of the broader multi-disciplinary scope of renewable and/or energy technology etc.
II) Promote technology for environmental solution: Environmental impacts of waste or wastewater treatment, environmental impacts of climate change, air quality and new understanding of their role in adverse health or environmental outcomes, various technology for cleaner production and technical processes, Environmental and sustainability assessment etc.
III) Explore the energy-environment-economics nexus: Studies that analyze the trade-offs and synergies between energy policies, environmental outcomes, and economic impacts, carbon pricing, renewable energy subsidies, and international climate agreements, social dimensions of energy transitions etc.
The inauguration of the Journal of Energy, Environment, and Economy signifies a crucial advancement in tackling some of the most intricate concerns of our era. We aim to foster multidisciplinary research and collaboration among academia, industry, and government to inspire innovation, inform policy, and promote sustainability. We encourage you to accompany us on this journey. Your involvement as an author, reviewer, or reader is essential for the journal's success. Let us leverage knowledge to effect significant change at the nexus of energy, environment, and economics.
