Aims and scope
The shifting to green and low-carbon economy is at the heart of carbon neutrality actions worldwide. Green and Low-Carbon Economy (GLCE) publishes significant original research that seeks to understand and address the economic challenges in transitioning to a carbon-neutral world. The journal aims to advance the understanding of how to achieve a green and low-carbon economy, its human and policy dimensions, and potential solutions. Our mission is to provide a single and leading platform to facilitate cross-disciplinary dialogue around the green and low-carbon economy research from the economy, social, environmental, management, and applied sciences that seek to answer questions like:
- The measurement, drivers, and mechanisms of green and low-carbon economy
- Barriers and strategies to green and low-carbon economy transition
- The social, political, and technological pathways for green and low-carbon economy
We particularly encourage studies with interdisciplinary interest. Researches focusing on all spatial, temporal, and socio-political scales will be considered. The journal is open to all relevant topics including but not limited to:
- Green and Low-Carbon Economy Transition
