Summary
The accelerating impacts of climate change underscore the urgent need for robust carbon mitigation strategies that can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote sustainable development. With rising global temperatures, ecosystem disruptions, and socioeconomic vulnerabilities, carbon mitigation remains a critical research domain at the intersection of environmental science, technology, and policy. Recent advancements in renewable energy, carbon capture and storage, negative emission technologies, and nature-based solutions have demonstrated significant potential, however, their integration, scalability, and long-term effectiveness require further investigation.
This Special Issue aims to gather cutting-edge research and innovative approaches that enhance our understanding of carbon mitigation methods and their role in achieving net-zero emission targets. The scope includes technical developments, interdisciplinary solutions, and policy frameworks that accelerate the transition toward a low-carbon society. By bridging scientific, industrial, and policy perspectives, this issue will provide a comprehensive platform for addressing both challenges and opportunities in carbon mitigation.
Suggested Themes：
