Dear Colleagues,
The energy system is highly vulnerable to climate variability and change (CV&C) as it causes a wide range of impacts on energy production, supply channels and demand sectors. Paradoxically, the energy system account for large contribution to global climate change, as emission from fossil fuel power plants make up to 40% of the global GHG emissions. Energy system transition from fossil fuel offer a means of both mitigating GHG from the energy sector and adapting to a changing world. However, transitioning to a cleaner sustainable energy system requires an understanding of the impact of CV&C and how the inclusion of renewables can offer economic and societal benefits. Therefore, it is important to assess the impacts CV&C on the future energy system and explore mitigation and adaptation strategies that offers benefits to the economy, society and environment. This special issue aims to encompass a variety of new studies investigating the impacts of CV&C on the energy system, mitigation/adaptation strategies and pathways to a clean and sustainable energy transition. This special issue welcomes contributions that include, but not limited to the following:
- Climate impact assessment across the energy system which includes renewable and non-renewable fuels, transformation (conversion), transmission and distribution networks, and demand sectors.
- Potential CV&C impacts on energy security and various Sustainable Development Goals at the local, regional and global scale.
- Robust policy measures to decouple GHG emissions from the energy system.
- The role of green finance in supporting the reduction of GHG emissions.
- Technology solutions to address CV&C impacts on the energy system.
- New climate impact assessment methodologies.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Climate is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
