Global climate change has had a profound effect on a variety of sectors, including agriculture, education, healthcare, transportation, and mining. For more than three decades, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change has been working to address this concern on a global scale. The consequences of climate change are significant, causing droughts, food shortages, and other extreme weather events. In this respect, we must recognize how the climate is changing and devise strategies to mitigate it.
All climate change players, including those driving socio-economic activities and public policy, must account for their ecological potential to address environmental sustainability concerns. There has been a growth in the use of technology in business, politics, and social activities to limit human interaction that may confine the virus during the COVID-19 pandemic. The repercussions of these shifts are unknown, but there may be significant lessons for all parties concerned with environmental and climatic change.
In the field of environmental economics and management, previous studies focused on sustaining economic development, preserving social welfare programs, enhancing social development, and advancing technological innovation. However, only a few studies have focused on these issues in the pre and post-pandemic world. In this regard, it is important to provide innovative, significant, and economically viable solutions for environmental sustainability. The readers of this Research Topic will acquire insights about (1) how government policies should tackle environmental challenges under climate change amid the COVID-19 pandemic in order to achieve sustainable social development? (2) how can government policies and crises-induced technological innovations improve economic development under climate change conditions? and (3) how the general society will respond and behave under uncertain climate change conditions?
Specifically, this Research Topic will include theoretical research aimed at balancing dynamic economic development, social consequences, and technological innovation under climate change conditions, empirical studies examining the linkages between theories and reality, and case studies exploring the effectiveness and efficiency of existing policies. We are interested in quantitative or qualitative original research articles, systematic reviews, and case studies around the globe.
Themes in this Research Topic include but are not limited to the following areas:
1. Technological innovations in the supply chain, manufacturing, and sustainable business practices and their social consequences amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
2. Economic development and its social and environmental consequences during the COVID-19 pandemic.
3. Success and failure experiences in remote employment, online education, and telehealth during the COVID-19 pandemic.
4. Social acceptance of modern ways of transportation (hybrid, autonomous, and electric vehicles) in times of crisis.
5. Renewables, climate technologies and their impact on overcoming climate change during the COVID-19 pandemic.
6. Policy examination affecting both static and dynamic social development amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
7. Theoretical formulation and empirical investigation of economic and environmental implications under climate change COVID-19 pandemic conditions.
