On behalf of the company, Mr. Zhao Ge Nan, General Manager of Science and Technology Department of Elsevier, introduced Elsevier's mission in China and its periodical development strategy. Ms. Deborah Logan, publishing director of Elsevier Journals, said that with the increasing demand for the energy sector to meet the climate targets of the agreement and for researchers to assess the impact of energy production and use, Energy and Climate Change Journal would become a very necessary and important issue in the Elsevier Energy Series.
At present, under the organization of Professor Wei Yi-Ming and Professor Leon Clarke, 26 scholars from 16 countries with high international academic reputation and influence have jointly formed a well-structured editorial committee, and related work has been gradually carried out.
