Dear Colleagues,

According to the IPCC 5^th Assessment Report and other subsequent reports from the IPCC, it is unequivocal that the increasing emissions of greenhouse gases are leading to climate change. This is having a profound effect on water resources, which in turn are having a significant impact on socioeconomic and political scenarios. The changing climatic conditions are projected to cause an increased number of extreme weather events, such as cyclones, hurricanes, and typhoons, leading to floods on the one hand and extreme droughts on the other. These, in turn, impact ecosystems, water quality, agricultural productivity, and infrastructure service conditions.

Sustainability aims to bring out a Special Issue compiling recent research and developments across the globe in this area. Researchers are invited to submit their papers/contributions in the following areas:

• Mathematical modeling methods for assessing climate change’s impacts on hydrology and water quality—innovative approaches to modeling chains, bias-correction methods for climate models, and uncertainty assessment.
• Case studies to assess the impacts of climate change on water, infrastructure, agriculture, and ecosystems.
• The development of new computational tools and frameworks, such as data-driven approaches, big data, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, to name a few.
• Databases—intensive datasets are often required to validate the models. These datasets are often available for North American and European watersheds. Any datasets from intensely monitored watersheds from Asia, Africa and South America are of immense use.
• Adaptation strategies: the development of methodological frameworks and real-life case studies for adaptation strategies to mitigate the impacts of climate change.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

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-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
