Special Issue Information
In September 2015, the United Nations adopted the “2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development“, and indicated 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), aiming to develop a holistic approach to realizing sustainable development. A number of SDGs, such as zero hunger (SDG-2), clean water and sanitation (SDG-6), affordable and clean energy (SDG-7), and responsible consumption and production (SDG-12), are highly related to the fields of the sustainable environment. In December 2019, the European Commission set up the “European Green Deal”, and pointed out 10 strategies to boost the sustainable economy, while improving quality of life and the environment. A number of action plans, such as “circular economy”, “biodiversity”, “zero pollution”, and “farm to fork” have been implemented in accordance with the proposed strategies. Along the way to realizing sustainability, the development and deployment of green technologies and engineering are essential to decouple economic growth and environmental protection.
This Special Issue collects original research and critical reviews about scientific and technical information on the recent advances in green technologies and engineering for achieving sustainable environment. The primary areas of interest of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to the following: (1) design criteria for various types of green technologies for achieving new agriculture and circular economy systems; (2) combination of natural and constructed facilities for integrated watershed management; (3) smart technologies for the monitoring, control, and assessment of agricultural and environmental quality; (4) holistic assessment and modelling tools for environmental governance and management; and (5) adaptation to climate change for realizing a sustainable environment.
