Resources are the material basis for human development, while the environment is the fundamental condition for human development. The exploitation and utilization of resources will lead to environmental changes, which in return will have an impact on resources. At present, due to the increase of population and the continuous expansion scale of human production activities, how to address the trade-off between resources exploitation and environment protection has become an important issue for human sustainable development. Green development is a mode of economic growth and social development that emphasizes efficiency, harmony and sustainability. It can realize the coordination and sustainability among population, economy and social development, resources and environment, and is a promising means to solve the current problems associated with resources and environment.
In this Research Topic, we mainly aim at the state and problem analysis of the contradiction between resource utilization and environmental protection, and focus on how to realize the coordination among population, economy and social development, and the optimization of resource utilization and environmental protection through a green lifestyle and development mode. This is a critical and fundamental issue in the field of sustainable development.
The following is a non-exclusive list of topics relevant to the Research Topic:
• Resources management;
• Environment carrying capacity, efficiency, safety and management;
• Coupling coordination between resource exploitation and environmental protection;
• Coordination among population, economic and social development;
• Ecological civilization construction;
• Energy-saving, environmental protection, and low carbon concept;
• Green development model;
• Green lifestyle;
• Energy industry development and management;
• Environmental protection and economic development;
• Ecological economy, circular economy, and low carbon economy.
