Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the interdisciplinary nexus of carbon neutrality, renewable energy development, and climate change impacts, addressing the urgent global challenge of balancing decarbonization goals with atmospheric environmental stability. It welcomes original research and critical reviews exploring the synergies and trade-offs between renewable energy deployment (solar, wind, hydro, etc.) and climate change dynamics, including regional climate simulations, statistical or dynamical downscaling techniques for climate models, climate-driven variations in renewable energy potential, atmospheric feedback effects of low-carbon energy transitions. Topics cover quantitative assessments of greenhouse gas mitigation via renewable energy, climate change impacts on energy system, carbon-neutral pathways for atmospheric pollution co-control, and regional/global policy frameworks for integrated energy-climate governance. We aim to advance evidence-based insights for optimizing renewable energy strategies under climate change, bridging atmospheric science, energy engineering, and environmental policy to support actionable solutions for global carbon neutrality and atmospheric sustainability.

Manuscript Submission Information
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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Atmosphere 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 2400 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.
