CFPs of Special Volume on The Dynamics of Water Innovation
Call for Papers of Special Volume on Strategies for Sustainable Solutions: An Interdisciplinary and Collaborative Research Agenda
The industrial sector consumed about 19% of the total societal energy and contributed 30% of the total global greenhouse gas (GHS) emissions in 2010 based on a recent report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report (IPCC, 2014; Bajželj, 2013). Manufacturing is responsible for about 98% of the total direct CO2 emissions from the industrial sector (IEA, 2012a, 2012b). Finding better ways to reduce energy consumption and waste emissions in manufacturing processes is therefore, critical to achieving energy savings and emissions reductions. This is essential to enhance the sustainability of our society. Additionally, the IPCC report highlighted that the lack of acceptance of unconventional advanced manufacturing processes, is a major barrier for reducing energy consumption and emissions.

The Guest Editors, recognize the importance and value of the work of creative practitioners and facilitators in organizational creativity and sustainability. We invite authors to engage creative practitioners and facilitators to produce content that could be considered creative in an academic context.
This ‘Call for Papers’ (CfPs) for a Special Volume (SV) of Journal of Cleaner Production (JCLP) was designed to catalyze explorations of the relationships among low/no fossil-carbon economies and to support the needed industrial transformations. This SV was designed to invite authors to prepare papers, which develop comprehensive, multi- disciplinary understanding of the why’s, what’s and the how’s of making the essential industrial transformations within the context of low/no fossil-carbon economies and the needed changes in education, research and policies to support the transitions and the new systems of the future.
The visions for and structure of the new international low fossil carbon technology governance are crucial for the success of future global climate governance structures, policies and procedures.
Climate change, environmental pollution, exhaustion of raw materials, and ecosystem deterioration are some of the ecological challenges facing humanity. In addition, poverty and inequity are persisting problems, enhanced by population growth; challenging sustainable development. A deep change in the way we produce and consume is necessary; which would include changes in the economic system and in culture and lifestyles.
