Sustainability has become an important focus for government, civil society and the corporate community world-wide. Growing interest in addressing environmental deterioration and associated social inequality and economic challenges is shifting focus to this important issue. The lack of fresh water and arable land, extreme weather, rising cost of relying on fossil fuels, and poverty and regional instability, are drawing attention to the need for government intervention and policy instruments that encourage the development of sustainable alternatives. Governments can play a very important role in facilitating sustainable development through better public policies. First of all, public investments can be directed toward establishing incentives for renewable energy, energy efficiency, sustainable agriculture, and land and water conservation, or toward leveling the field for sustainable alternatives by phasing out the subsidies directed to unsustainable production and development. Second, regulatory and pricing mechanisms could help with the development of markets for sustainable products. This book engages policy informatics analytical and modeling approaches, stakeholder engagement in policy development, implementation and evaluation, and big data and policy informatics to generate valuable insights in the policy on sustainable energy, and will be on interest to researchers in public administration and sustainability, open data and information technology ecological economics. 410 0$aPublic Administration and Information Technology,$x2512-1812 ;$v20 606 $aPublic administration 606 $aManagement 606 $aIndustrial management 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aPublic Administration$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34030 606 $aInnovation/Technology Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/518000 606 $aPolitical Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911000 615 0$aPublic administration. 615 0$aManagement. 615 0$aIndustrial management. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 14$aPublic Administration. 615 24$aInnovation/Technology Management. 615 24$aPolitical Science. 676 $a330 702 $aZhang$b Jing$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aLuna-Reyes$b Luis Felipe$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aPardo$b Theresa A$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSayogo$b Djoko Sigit$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254874803321 996 $aInformation, Models, and Sustainability$92149523 997 $aUNINA
