Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The scope of climate targets has significantly changed since the early 1980s. Climate politics and policy now recognize advanced simulation and modeling methods and scenarios. The reliability of future trends in global warming (projections) is a function of the robustness of theoretical and mathematical approaches as well as the integrity and process of data measured over the past decades.
Global impact mathematical models may augment our knowledge of human systems and how they may be affected by climate change. However, major gaps and challenges still exist. Some models underestimate the extremeness of impacts in sectors such as agriculture, terrestrial ecosystems, and heat-related human mortality. On the other hand, impacts on water resources and hydropower are overestimated in some river basins. These examples show that modelling outcome may have considerable impacts on economic assessments of climate change.
Emerging issues also arise frequently. For instance, deviations of the simulation results from observations, such as pauses in global warming (e.g., as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic) are receiving increasing attention. In a decadal scale, mismatches between simulation results and observation trends are still poorly understood. Substantial uncertainty in interpretation of the observed climate change may be inevitable with using current generation of climate models. This Special Issue will focus on such challenges and gaps with a strong focus on solutions and actions.

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. Water 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 2600 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.
