Special Issue on  Climate Change, Sustainable Development and Disaster Risks

It is now universally recognized that human-induced climate change could have major adverse consequences for the world’s ecosystems and societies. Climate change is caused by the emission of greenhouse gases, which trap long-wave radiation in the upper atmosphere and consequently raise atmospheric temperatures. Indeed, attempting to control climate change through global regulation of emissions alone will not work or could be counterproductive. Sustainable development is the way forward and can only be led by government and come through the adoption of institutions which enable people to engage in activities that generate wealth and lead to technological progress and innovation. The goal of this special issue is to provide a platform for scientists and academicians all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in this area of climate change, sustainable development and disaster risks.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring climate change, sustainable development and disaster risks. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Climate change and sustainable agriculture
• Climate sustainability and energy
• Climate sustainability and ecology
• Climate change and sustainable urban development
• The impacts of climate change on the risk of natural disasters
• Climate change and disaster management
• Climate change and disaster risk reduction

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Climate Change, Sustainable Development and Disaster Risks” should be selected during your submission.
