Environmental Risk and Climate Change II

Dear Colleagues,

Building on the success of the June 2022 Bonn Climate Change Conference, there is a need for more ambitious climate action, deeper cuts in greenhouse gas emissions, and enhanced resilience to adapt to the effects of climate change.

While governments agreed a package of decisions at the Glasgow Climate Pact at COP26 (the 2021 UN Climate Change Conference), the challenges linked to climate change require a multidisciplinary approach to manage climate change and related environmental, social, and financial risk, including strategies to provide financial support for developing countries, to mitigate the impact of climate change, and to adapt to global temperature rise. In order to pave the way for full implementation of the Paris Agreement, this Special Issue is seeking original papers that describe recent advances in various environmental risk issues in relation to climate shifts. While a technical perspective is welcome, an interdisciplinary, systems approach is encouraged to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote state-of-the-art solutions that can address climate change risk at local, national, or global scales. In this way, this Special Issue will help to prepare governments, scientists and industry for the UN Climate Change Conference (COP27) in Sharm el-Sheikh in November 2022.

The publications in the first volume, which we believe may be of interest to you, can be found here: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/environments/special_issues/climate_risk_2016.
