The Interaction of Climate Change with Landscape and Environment

Dear Colleagues,

We sincerely invite you to submit a paper to a Special Issue on “The Interaction of Climate Change with Landscape and Environment” in the open-access journal Climate.

Climate change is increasingly becoming one of the greatest problems for humankind. The impacts of climate change on the natural environment include extreme weather events, such as floods and droughts, heat waves, storms and hurricanes, as well as rising sea levels and destruction of biodiversity. In the urban environment, climate change may also create adverse effects for inhabitants, such as heat stress, respiratory problems from pollution exposure, and increased flood risk.

This Special Issue thus explores the interaction of climate change with landscape and environment, for adaption to, and mitigation of climate change for sustainable development. The focus of the analyses may vary from a short period to several decades, or from a small area (such as street blocks or a city) to a vast region (such as countrywide or global). All topics which focus on climate change adaptation, mitigation, as well as relevant analysis techniques and their linkages with policy making are warmly welcome.

We look forward to receiving original, high-quality unpublished manuscripts from different professions and expertise.
