Sustainable Production and Consumption
Building on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are the cornerstone of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, allocated by the UN as “An Agenda of unprecedented scope and significance.” The seventeen ambitious goals, which are intended to be reached by 2030, are conceived as integrated, indivisible, and as balancing the economic, social, and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. Sustainable production and consumption can be defined as production and use of products and services in a manner that is socially beneficial, economically viable and environmentally benign over their whole life cycle.
This special issue will collect all the relevant papers from the Mediterranean Areas dealing with at least one of the SDGs.
This special issue will collect papers that were presented in CEMEPE2022 conference, CEST2023 (18th International Conference and Environmental Science and Technology) as well as from other Mediterranean Regions (even they didn't participate in the conference) and highlighted within important and relevant issues. The special issue will remain open until December 2023.
