# Carbon Footprints

#

---

***Carbon Footprints* (CF)** is an international, gold open-access journal committed to advancing quantitative and qualitative understanding of: Greenhouse-gas and air-pollutant emissions (CO2, CH4, N2O, particulate matter, etc.); Low-carbon energy transitions and related technologies; Interactions between carbon, energy use, air pollutants, and socio-environmental systems. The journal illuminates the patterns, drivers, and mitigation pathways of carbon and pollutant footprints across natural, urban, industrial, and economic systems.

**Aims & Scope**

Contributions should elucidate fundamental processes or demonstrate applied innovations with broad relevance beyond case studies. The journal is structured around four core sectors:

**1. Ecosystem Footprints**

- Land-use change effects on greenhouse gases and pollutants
- AFOLU (Agriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Use) as sources and sinks
- Coastal and marine carbon sequestration and ecosystem services
- Water-resource management under carbon-neutral targets

**2. Urban Systems**

- Urban carbon and pollutant accounting using big data and AI
- Mobility and transport emissions
- Built environment design for low-carbon resilience
- Waste- and food-system footprints in cities

**3. Industrial Systems**

- Life-cycle and process-level carbon accounting in manufacturing
- Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies
- Low-carbon process innovation across industrial chains
- Circular-economy and recycling-industry footprints

**4. Environmental & Resource Economics**

- Economic evaluation of carbon mitigation, energy conservation, and pollution control
- Policy assessment: carbon pricing, subsidies, regulations
- Interdisciplinary analyses in energy, transport, health, agriculture economics
