Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Climatic changes can have an impact on both natural and human systems since they can lead not only to floods, droughts and sea-level rise, but they can also negatively impact human lives and human health, economies and societies, services and infrastructure. Changes in Earth’s average temperatures, sea-level rise, ocean acidification and other shifts in many climate aspects are interacting with other environmental changes, such as biodiversity loss or modification of biogeochemical cycles, leading to negative impacts on ecosystems and human lives. Thus, climate change is considered to be not only one of the greatest environmental challenges of our century but one of the greatest social challenges as well. As many places in the world have faced or facing the impacts of climate change every day, this makes the situation an actual problem that is not theoretically discussed. Therefore, urgent action for climate change is required, including addressing its causes and reducing GHG emissions (mitigation), as well as addressing its consequences and investing in climate resilience (adaptation).
The papers submitted will try to explore the problem and help researchers, academicians and policymakers act in a sustainable way in protecting the environment.
Prof. Dr. George Halkos
