Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The increase in the occurrence of extreme weather events, including tropical cyclones, droughts, floods, tornadoes, and intense rainfall, driven by global and regional climate changes, demands our urgent attention. It is crucial that we take proactive actions to develop effective recommendations to mitigate the impacts of these severe weather occurrences and safeguard our communities and ecosystems. The intensity and extent to which climate change contributes to extreme weather events remain uncertain in some cases. Additionally, there is no universal solution or recommendation to mitigate their impacts globally. Effective strategies must be tailored to the specific needs, conditions, and contexts of individual regions and countries.
We propose the establishment of a Special Issue for Sustainability focused on ‘Global Climate Monitoring and Extreme Weather Events’. This Special Issue aims to present sustainable strategies and mitigation measures to address the challenges posed by climate change and its associated impacts.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Climate change;
- Extreme weather events;
- Numerical climate modelling;
- Natural disasters and community safety;
- Remote sensing and GIS vulnerable mapping;
- Climate change and agriculture;
- Realistic sustainable strategies and mitigation procedures.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
