Many countries throughout the world have been shifting their energy production methods from fossil fuel use to more environmentally friendly methods. These methods are described by the term "Renewable Energy Methods" and entail the production of energy from Renewable Energy Sources (RES) based on wind, water, biomass, solar energy, and geothermal energy. This shift is mainly driven by the increase in public awareness of environmental problems and climate change, which are both related to the increase in Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. The main goal of this Special Issue is to determine methodologies that can be applied in education in order to raise the awareness of students as well as their families about issues related to renewable sources and energy conservation. Furthermore, the authors studied the factors, parameters, and criteria that affect the decision-making involved in the selection of appropriate types of renewable energy sources in order to select the optimal form, both financially and environmentally. Finally, an attempt is made to recognize methods for communicating the usage of RES and energy savings to the public. Such communication methods are necessary because, in many communities, there are issues surrounding the acceptance of RES installation, as the public considers them to be factors of environmental degradation. 606 $aEnvironmental economics$2bicssc 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 610 $aacceptance 610 $aactor plurality 610 $aARDL with bounds test 610 $aattitudes 610 $aauction scheme 610 $abarriers 610 $abenchmark 610 $aBuilding Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) 610 $acitizen attitudes 610 $acitizens' energy companies 610 $aco-existence 610 $aco-location 610 $acommunication 610 $acommunity energy 610 $acurriculum 610 $acustomer satisfaction 610 $adecision-making 610 $adeforestation 610 $aDempster Shafer Analytic Hierarchy Process 610 $adepartment of forestry 610 $aeducation 610 $aeducation for sustainable development 610 $aeducative-communication approach 610 $aenergy investments 610 $aenergy market 610 $aenergy poverty 610 $aenergy transition 610 $aenvironmental Kuznets curve 610 $aenvironmental protection 610 $aenvironmental science 610 $aGermany 610 $aGHG emissions 610 $agovernance 610 $aindustrial customers 610 $aInternet 610 $ainvestments 610 $amarine renewable energy 610 $amulti-criteria analysis 610 $amulti-functionality 610 $amulticriteria analysis 610 $aNARDL model 610 $anatural gas 610 $anegative externalities 610 $aperceptions 610 $apolicy 610 $aproposal 610 $arenewable energy 610 $aRenewable Energy Enterprises 610 $aRenewable energy sources 610 $arenewable energy sources (RES) 610 $arenewable resources 610 $aRES 610 $asustainability 610 $asustainable agriculture 610 $ateacher 610 $aThessaloniki 610 $auniversity students 610 $awillingness-to-invest 615 7$aEnvironmental economics 615 7$aResearch & information: general 700 $aIoannou$b Konstantinos$4edt$01297537 702 $aIoannou$b Konstantinos$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557441303321 996 $aEducation, Communication and Decision Making on Renewable and Sustainable Energy$93024512 997 $aUNINA
