Topic: Papers from the 12th International Conference on Low Carbon Asia (ICLCA 2026)

The special issue is related to the 12^th International Conference on Low Carbon Asia 2026. The conference is established under the Under the theme "Moving the Needle to 1.5°C," this year’s conference seeks to integrate science, technology, finance, and policy to accelerate Asia’s carbon-neutral transition and contribute insights and solutions toward limiting global warming to 1.5°C. This conference brings the experts, scholars, industry professionals, and researchers together to share innovative practices and exploring viable pathways to collectively advance the construction of a sustainable future.

In this regard, this special issue invites frontier research and review articles from the ICLCA 2026 conference, focusing on advanced low-carbon process innovations, circular economy and sustainable production, as well as nature-based solutions that support sustainable development and society. The special issue aims to ensure global representation, welcoming contributions from researchers across all countries working in energy and environmental science.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following broad spectrum:

● Transitioning to low-carbon energy systems;

● Low-carbon technologies and solutions;

● Low-carbon urban planning andsmart cities;

● Sustainable transportation andmobility innovation;

● Waste management andcircular economy strategies;

● Greener manufacturing andindustrial decarbonization;

● Resource efficiency in supply chains;

● Nature-based climate mitigationstrategies;
