Special Collection on Research on Environment and Economic Development
Guest Editors:
Dr. Cristiano Poleto and Dr. Mark J. G. Hartl

Civil and academic society is increasingly recognizing the socio-economic value of maintaining environmental standards. Consequently, contemporary environmental research seeks to support economic development through sustainable innovation. This special collection provides a selection of studies addressing some of the diverse environmental issues associated with global economic growth and development. Additional papers for this special collection will be added as they are accepted and published online. Readers are encouraged to check the online collection page frequently to find additional content.
