Editorial: Climate change and sustainable energy development

A study was conducted to identify new scopes for energy efficiency improvement, renewable energy development, climate-change impact assessment, pollution control, and energy systems planning. The study showed that annual mean wind speeds of 0.5% is expected to increase across the UK and the electricity production in winter will increase by 15% in the south and north. The study revealed that Brazil's effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions can help to increase financial gains with new production technologies and alternative energy sources. The study also revealed that inexact change-constrained semi-infinite programming (ICCSIP) method can help decision-makers to plan allocation scheme for regional energy management system, offer timing, and evaluate minimum cost for energy sources. The study indicated that China can make significant environmental improvement by using hollow concrete bricks instead of solid clay bricks.
