Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The confluence of the problems of sustainable management and adaptation to climate change represents a rich opportunity for research that is making its way into academic literature. Natural resource economics and modelling have been a traditional background discipline contributing to the understanding of mechanisms behind actual management performance.

In view of current concerns surrounding climate issues and their impact on the environment, MDPI Sustainability is launching a Special Issue entitled “Climate Change and Natural Resources Economics”, to which I have been invited to participate as guest editor. I believe that this theme can be the subject of some very interesting publications, including cases and experiences of good practice, contributions on the sustainable modeling of natural resources management, and theoretical reflections on economic analysis applied to the subject. Academics in multiple fields have been working in this areas for quite some time now, and there are plenty of research works that deserve to be published.

The aim of this Special Issue is to share good practices among practitioners of natural resources management facing climate change issues, together with providing emerging modelling approaches to improve the understanding the mechanisms driving climate change impacts on natural resources, representing a fruitful opportunity to push forward our knowledge in the combined fields of sustainability and climate change. Your contributions are welcome.

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.

Climate change is one of the great global challenges. Cities are both drivers and responders of climate change. In recent years, the literature associated with climate change and cities has grown rapidly, but few studies have used a bibliometric analysis and visualization approach to conduct deep mining and explore the current situation and development trends of this field. By using bibliometric and text mining methods, the authors conducted a knowledge map analysis of the research on cities and climate change. Moreover, this article attempts to identify the research hotspots and research gaps in this field. The following findings are distilled. First, research in this field is rapidly emerging, and the current research distribution is extremely uneven. China and the US contributed 36% of total paper output. Second, previous research focused on six topics: Impact of Climate Change and Urbanization, Urban Climate Change Adaptation, Urban Heat Island Effect, Urban Greenhouse Emission, Urban Climate Change and Water, and Urban Energy Systems. The first two topics are currently the most popular directions of research. Third, empirical research shows positive interest in big cities, while climate change research in small and medium-sized cities has been neglected. The results of this work will not only help researchers clarify the current situation in cities and climate change science but also provide guidance for future research. Full article

Climate change will have far-reaching impacts on food systems, which require strengthening social, economic, and political structures that allow farmers to offer their produce and consumers to have access to the food they eat. This research focuses on food access and stability. Specifically, through the analysis of a system of urban markets and free fairs, the (a) public satisfaction with these spaces, (b) the distribution and access to the same spaces, and (c) potential scenarios envisaging a food system that contributes to the designing of a climate resilient city are evaluated. The results indicate a high public satisfaction with markets and free fairs, while providing evidence on the importance of designing cities that include a network of markets and free fairs in urban planning for climate adaptation and resilience, shifting the paradigm from centralised urban systems towards an urbanism of services’ proximity within walking distances.
