Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the increasing concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, climate change is now an indisputable fact, posing great challenges to the environment, economies, and communities. These challenges are further compounded by inaction, which can lead to severe impacts on human health, food security, and global stability. Fortunately, a number of studies have been made in acquiring knowledge of climate change and its impacts on the ecosystem and national sectors such as agriculture, forestry, water resources, etc. However, there are still a lot of uncertainties that impact assessment results and practical adaptive measures due to limited data, methodology, and the scale of study. Therefore, case studies should be strengthened and broadened to reduce the uncertainties and develop practical adaptive measures to cope with climate change.

This Special Issue seeks to bring together interdisciplinary perspectives to address the ever-expanding importance of climate change impacts and adaptation. Despite a wide range of research undertaken by countries, organizations and industries to address climate change, a great deal of very important work remains to be carried out to effectively assess the impacts of climate change and to understand the extent to which adaptation measures can reduce the negative impacts of climate change.

For this Special Issue, we warmly invite scientists working in climatology, ecology, geography, remote sensing and GIS, environmental science, and social science to contribute novel theories, observations, and modeling studies on climate change impacts and adaptation across different time scales (historical to future) and spatial scales (regional to global). Contributions can include but are not limited to the following topics: observation-based regional climate change analysis, detection and attribution of regional climate change, the measurement and modeling of land surface–atmosphere interaction, impacts and risks of climate change on different regions (or sectors), meteorological disaster risk management, climate change and sustainable development, international climate governance, etc.
