CFP summary
The SDEWES conference series is a well-established international forum on the sustainable development of energy, water and environment systems, with strong emphasis on systems thinking, sector coupling and sustainability transitions. The 21st edition, to be held in Gran Canaria, continues the conference’s interdisciplinary tradition by connecting energy engineering, environmental management, urban systems, water systems and policy analysis. The official call for papers highlights the conference as a venue for both methodological and application-oriented work, including smart energy systems, integration of renewables, storage, mobility, circular economy, industrial decarbonization, urban sustainability, and decision support for low-carbon development. Its scope makes it especially relevant to researchers working across technical, environmental and socio-economic dimensions of the energy transition.
