Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is the second volume in a series of publications dedicated to “Climate Change and Extreme Weather Disaster Risks” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/atmosphere/special_issues/3A5JX11ZF7).
Climate change has led to a surge in extreme weather events, with these including hurricanes, floods, droughts, and heatwaves. These disasters have increased in frequency, intensity, and prevalence, resulting in significant human and economic losses. For this reason, exploring the relationship between climate change and the risk of extreme disaster is crucial for both the comprehension of this relationship’s underlying dynamics and the development of effective mitigation and adaptation strategies.
We are pleased to announce that a Special Issue on Climate Change and Extreme Weather Disaster Risks will be hosted by the open access journal Atmosphere and published in autumn 2025. This Special Issue will broaden our understanding of extreme climate disaster risks that result from climate change, reduce subsequent losses from extreme weather events, and forecast future changes in extreme climate disaster risks.
In this Special Issue, original research, systematic reviews, and model studies related to the themes of climate change and extreme disaster risks are welcome. Example topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- The global/regional assessment of extreme disaster risks;
- The characterization and attribution of extreme disaster changes;
- The early warning and management of extreme disasters;
- The analysis of compound extreme disaster co-occurrence risks.
