Earth Observations for Environmental Sustainability for the Next Decade Ⅱ

Dear Colleagues,

The Earth's natural environment is clearly degrading, with natural disasters intensifying all over the world in recent years, such as droughts, forest fires, cyclones/typhoons/hurricanes, and heat waves. The sustainability of our planet is becoming the most urgent issue and greatest concern faced by humanity. Among the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) put forth by the UN in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, this Special Issue focuses on the following: 2 (Zero Hunger), 3 (Good Health and Well-being), 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), 12 (Sustainable Consumption and Production), 13 (Climate Action), 14 (Life Below Water) and 15 (Life on Land). Achieving these SDGs by using acquired knowledge to make significant contributions is a critical challenge for research scientists and other experts throughout the world.

This Special Issue, “Earth Observations for Environmental Sustainability for the Next Decade Ⅱ,” aims to gather original viewpoints and initiate discussions on various areas within the science of observations about Earth’s environmental health. Regarding the papers submitted to this Special Issue, we encourage those introducing innovative techniques or approaches to foster applications in contemporary practice, as well as challenging papers related to the following topics:

• Disasters
• Health
• Energy
• Climate
• Water
• Weather
• Ecosystems
• Agriculture/forestry/fishery
• Biodiversity
• Industry and policy
