Dear Colleagues,

Humankind, to satisfy its needs, creates products and services (technosphere) for which it takes resources from the natural environment (ecosphere). This process does not happen at “zero cost” but determines the release of pollutants in the atmospheric compartment, in surface water and groundwater, and in the soil and subsoil, produces waste, and requires large quantities of energy with the production of inevitable environmental impacts.

Pollution phenomena and major climatic changes represent important issues that affect socioeconomic and environmental dynamics on a global, national, regional, and local level. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze, from different methodological points of view, the key role of resource management policies in the light of the paradigm of sustainable development: meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

Therefore, experts from academia and industry, designers, architects, engineers, scientists, economists, sociologists, ecologists, communicators, educators, and others are invited to share their theoretical and applied knowledge on the relationships between resource policy and sustainable development. In this sense, collaboration across disciplines is encouraged. This Special Issue will document contributions from all over the world in order to provide a scientific and practical improvement for the understanding of a problem of such great interest and global relevance.
