Transitioning to zero and near-zero emission economies is at the core of addressing the three planetary crises outlined by the UN: climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution currently underway.1 However, decarbonization cannot be treated in isolation. As
recognized in the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals, “ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working
to preserve our oceans and forests.”

Environmental Sustainability in Maritime Infrastructures
This Special Issue is entitled “Environmental Sustainability in Maritime Infrastructures”. Oceans and coastal areas are essential in our lives from several different points of view: social, economic, and health. Given the importance of these areas for human life, not only for the present but also for the future, it is necessary to plan future infrastructures, and maintain and adapt to the changes the existing ones. All of this taking into account the sustainability of our planet. A very significant percentage of the world's population lives permanently or enjoys their vacation periods in coastal zones, which makes them very sensitive areas, with a very high economic value and as a focus of adverse effects on public health and ecosystems.

Enhancing Security Sustainability and Resilience in Energy Food and Water
The concept of security is in our current societies increasingly connected with sustainability, which seeks to ensure that we as humans are able to live and prosper on this planet now and in the future. The concepts of energy security, food security, and water security—used separately or together—manifest the burgeoning linkages between security and sustainability. This book brings together ten scientific articles that look at different aspects of security, sustainability, and resilience with an emphasis on energy, food, and/or water in the context of Finland and Europe. Together, the articles portray a rich picture on the diverse linkages between both energy, food, and water, and between security and sustainability.

Sustainability and Competition
Sustainability has been on the agenda of international organisations, states and, increasingly, private businesses for some time. From a competition agency perspective, regulation to achieve sustainability might be the preferred option. Yet, business action might equally affect sustainability and competition and competition laws are crucial considerations for businesses.

Resilience and Sustainability of the Mississippi River Delta as a Coupled Natural- Human System
The Mississippi River Delta (MRD) coastal region contributes an estimated $45 billion in revenue annually to the state of Louisiana and has a natural capital asset value estimated between $330 billion and $1.3 trillion. Draining approximately 3.2 km2 of land, the Mississippi is the largest river in North American with the U.S. largest riverine transport hubs between Baton Rouge and New Orleans and has built the world’s 3rd largest river delta.
