The Impacts of Climate Changes: From Sustainability Perspectives

Dear Colleagues,

Numerous weather and climate extremes impact human society, the societal infrastructure, and the natural environment. Potential changes in climate are forecast to result in possible frequency and/or intensity changes in extreme events, increases in precipitation, decreases in extreme low temperatures, increases in extreme high temperature, and changes in ecological systems. Future research may consider focusing on future trends and changes in frequency of extreme events, based on the outcomes of the most integrated climate models to evaluate the relationships between the severe weather extremes and the continued greenhouse gas scenarios of the coming decades.

This Special Issue aims to discuss various impacts of climate changes on communities, public health, ecological systems, and/or infrastructures from scientific and/or sustainability perspectives. We invite you to contribute to this issue by submitting comprehensive reviews, case studies, or research articles that focus on scientific methods and innovatively statistical analyses. Papers selected for this Special Issue are subject to a rigorous peer review procedure with the aim of rapid and wide dissemination of research results, developments, and applications.
