Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The COVID-19 pandemic has set off unprecedented health, humanitarian, economic, and social crises that have far-reaching impacts on societies all over the world. As governments protect the health of their people and address the issues of economic recovery, it becomes necessary to not lose progress accomplished with renewable and sustainable energy and sight of the endeavors required to achieve global climate and sustainability objectives. Renewable energy alternatives offer clean, affordable, easy to mobilize, reliable, and cost-effective energy solutions for vital services, including healthcare, food, and water supply. Therefore, they become integral in the immediate response to the COVID-19 crisis. Additionally, renewable energy solutions can play a crucial role in economic recovery, creating jobs, ensuring energy security and sustainability, and increasing resilience to safeguard people’s health and welfare. Furthermore, renewable energy solutions are in line with climate targets and no other industry can match renewable energy’s impact while simultaneously decreasing global emissions. This Special Issue welcomes theoretical and empirical studies that highlight the importance of renewable energy in post COVID-19 economic recovery. As such, topics including, but not limited to, renewable energy solutions, energy in crises, energy security, energy justice, energy for economic recovery, energy decision making, and environmental sustainability are welcomed.
