主题范围

The Sustainable Development Goals set out ambitious global development targets in pursuit of a more just, equitable, and prosperous world. Foundational among these are goals 6 and 7 which seek to eliminate water and energy poverty respectively. While these represent distinct goals by themselves, achievement of all of the SDGs rely on access to affordable, clean water and energy. Central to these goals is that provision of water and energy services must not just be universal, but also clean and sustainable, conveying the importance of environmental justice in the pursuit of economic development.

Achieving SDG 6 & 7 will require the development of clean and affordable technologies, innovative business models, supportive policies and effective institutions. Furthermore, rapid demographic growth in the Global South means that provision of water and energy services will need to accelerate even more rapidly to ensure that rising populations achieve higher standards of living. The technology choices made to meet these growing needs will have important environmental and climate implications both locally and globally. Many of the world’s poorest populations are also the most exposed to climate risks and the least able to adapt. Addressing water and energy poverty therefore requires balancing urgent short term needs with long term environmental consequences.

In this focus collection, we welcome research from all aspects of water and energy poverty, as well as the related challenges of environmental justice. This scope includes technological innovation, policy and institutional challenges, business model development and financial sustainability, behavioural aspects of water and energy use, climate change and adaptation, and environmental justice. Specific topics of interest include but are not limited to:

Impacts of access to water, sanitation, and energy on development
Intertwined water and energy systems: water use for energy, energy use for water
Justice and equity issues in water and energy provision
Fundamental physical limits, including natural variability
Water and energy system resilience
