This special issue examines the global energy transition from fossil fuels to low-carbon technologies, addressing the systemic transformation required to mitigate climate change and achieve sustainable development. The call seeks applied, problem-solving research that explores the interplay between technological innovation, policy frameworks, market dynamics, and geopolitical factors across different geographical contexts.
The special issue welcomes contributions on energy sector management, simulation tools, circular economy approaches, and integrated models that assess economic and environmental pathways. Research should address challenges such as green finance, supply chain resilience, carbon neutrality, and policy mechanisms for successful energy transitions, as well as emerging topics including leadership development, gender issues, and professional training in the energy sector.
