Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We live in a dynamic world under the various influences of climate change. The social and ecological systems of urban, coastal, rural, and forest areas have experienced various disasters due to climate change—namely coastal erosion, floods, air pollution, drought, heat islands, landslides, increased disease prevalence, and economic loss. In order to restore the deteriorating health of ecosystems due to disasters, it is necessary to establish a resilient social–ecological system.
Recently, research on resilience has become increasingly crucial for efforts towards achieving sustainability. This Special Issue will present a series of articles on the theories, stewardship, and policies surrounding the concept of resilience and its role in creating sustainable and healthy social–ecological systems. In particular, we welcome papers focusing on the following issues:
- Various policies of government/organizations for sustainable development goals.
- Nature-based solutions to counteract social–environmental challenges and promote sustainable management.
- Strategies to enhance the adaptive capacity and assessment of urban resilience.
- The adaption of excellent ecological and sustainable designs and stewardship practices.
- Green infrastructure and its effectiveness and provision of ecosystem services.
- Transformation planning for vulnerable areas.
- Climate change and carbon neutrality.
