Nastos Panagiotis, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens

Cover Story: Established in 1992, the International Conference on Meteorology, Climatology and Atmospheric Physics (COMECAP) is a leading conference where top experts and scientists present state-of-the-art research on current and emerging issues concerning Meteorology, Climatology and Climate Change, Atmospheric Physics, Environment and Energy, Air Quality, as well as the adverse health effects caused by a burdened environment, air pollution, extreme weather, etc. The 16th International Conference on Meteorology, Climatology and Atmospheric Physics—COMECAP 2023—was co-organized by the Hellenic Meteorological Society (HMS), the University of West Attica (UNIWA), and the Mariolopoulos-Kanaginis Foundation for the Environmental Sciences. This edition is dedicated to climate change and its adverse effects on the environment, constructions, infrastructures, and human health.
