Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Influence of Transport on Global Warming and Environmental Sustainability explores the significant impact of transportation systems on the environment and global warming. This field of research sheds light on the intricate relationship between various modes of transportation and their contribution to climate change. As the transportation sector is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, primarily carbon dioxide, due to the burning of fossil fuels in vehicles, such as cars, trucks, ships, and airplanes, scientific research on this topic plays a great part in sustainable development in the future. The Influence of Transport on Global Warming and Environmental Sustainability delves into the consequences of these emissions, including rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and disruptions to ecosystems. It also underscores the urgent need for sustainable transportation solutions, such as electric vehicles, public transportation systems, and alternative fuels, to mitigate the adverse effects of transportation on the environment. Policymakers, industries, and individuals all play crucial roles in addressing this issue through the adoption of eco-friendly transportation practices and the development of efficient, low-emission transportation technologies. Ultimately, understanding the influence of transport on global warming and environmental sustainability is vital for creating a more sustainable future for our planet.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Transport emissions;
- Global warming;
- Environmental sustainability;
- Greenhouse gas emissions;
- Sustainable transportation;
- Fossil fuel consumption;
- Climate change;
- Alternative fuels;
- Public transportation;
- Eco-friendly transportation;
- Transport planning.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
