Greenhouse Gas and Climate Change

Dear Colleagues,

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are the main cause of anthropogenic climate change. To mitigate global warming, 175 countries signed the Paris Agreement in 2016, which aims to reduce GHG emissions and also to achieve net zero GHG emissions by the second half of this century. Furthermore, to formulate energy conservation and emission reduction policies, the monitoring and accurate estimation of GHG emission from countries, regions, and industries is necessary.

To understand the impact of greenhouse gases on climate change, and also to fill the scientific knowledge gap between greenhouse gases and climate change, we organize the Special Issue titled “Greenhouse Gases and Climate Change” in the journal Climate. Any papers that are related to greenhouse gases and climate change are warmly encouraged for submission to this issue. Research topics may include either observations and model simulations or the relationship between greenhouse gases and climate change.

Suggested topics for submission include: (1) The observation or modeling of GHG flux and concentration from different surfaces, including but not limited to cities, wetland, forest, and agriculture; (2) The technology and strategy to reduce GHG emissions or reach the goal of carbon neutrality; (3) The relationship between GHG emissions and climate change, especially the mitigation of climate change, and feedback between GHG flux and global warming (or precipitation, pressure, wind speed, and other climate parameters); (4) The facts and underlying mechanisms for climate change related to GHGs. Both original research papers and literature reviews are welcome for submission to this Special Issue

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Climate 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 1800 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.
