Journal of Green Engineering Special Issue on Exploiting ICT for a Sustainable Green World River Publishers *Web Page: ** http://riverpublishers.com/river_publisher/journal_details.php?book_id=67, * **http://riverpublishers.com/journal/jgespecialissue.php Challenges During the last years social challenges such as pollution, dwindling natural resources and climate change are being more intensively taken into consideration by federal and local governments, public and private industry, citizens and in a wider sense by the European Union. This is also certified by the fact that currently investments by the European Union in cleaner technologies is increasing aggressively to meet carbon-reduction targets, boost energy security, and improve the economic sustainability and health of its communities. Private capital investors seek to invest in companies with innovations that exploit the commercial potential of green technology. Private industry and public organizations are investing in research and development and producing new technologies that address the demands set by legislative policies and consumers. Researchers and technologists are developing new solutions that improve the efficiency and efficacy of existing environmental technologies and infrastructures. Consumers are demanding that the products they buy and services they use are environmentally sound. These green technology stakeholders are engaged in parallel, and not often, in collaboration on ways to best address the demands and challenges of this fast-changing green technology challenge and market. Therefore, green technologies are continuously gaining industry, research, government and non-governmental attention. So, obviously, now is the appropriate time for taking the essential steps that will show that the involved parties are highly active in the area, along with the ICT solution they have developed. Scope In this respect, this special issue, supported by European Alliance for Innovation (EAI), solicits innovative and high-quality work, as well as general, survey-like papers on relevant areas. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: - Green ICT (technology strategies, technology best practices, initiatives), - ICT in Smart Green (Sustainable Development, Energy, Carbon Emissions), - ICT and Environment (Green Jobs, Climate Change, Global Warming, Solar Energy, Fuel Cells, Wind Energy), - ICT and Transportation (Clean Technologies, Carbon Emissions, Alternative Energy), - Initiatives/ Research Fora/ Standards/ Policies Manuscript Submission Articles should be of tutorial in nature and authors must follow the guidelines for preparation of the manuscript<http://riverpublishers.com/river_publisher/download/Guideline%20for%20Authors%20River%20Publishers%20Journal.pdf> and its format<http://riverpublishers.com/river_publisher/download/River%20Publishers%20Journal%20Template.dotx>.
