Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite submissions to this Special Issue from researchers working on a wide range of interdisciplinary topics and techniques. We seek research papers investigating future extremes and hazards and their relevance for climate change risk management, including studies supporting decision-makers and stakeholders to better plan for and manage risk from climate change at a regional scale. Furthermore, studies that unravel critical issues for sector-specific challenges (for example insurance, finance, energy, etc.) are also encouraged.
We are particularly interested in work across extreme rainfall/flood-producing rainfall, temperature extremes (hot/cold extremes), drought, bushfire, severe storms/wind, hail, lightning, statistical analyses, model performance/evaluation at different scales, etc. Studies addressing future changes in the frequency, intensity, and duration of future hazards and subsequent implications are of interest, as are integrated analytical/modelling approaches such as those linked with other types of modelling systems such as hydrology, air quality, etc.

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 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
