Advances in Sustainable Climate Change Adaptation Research and Technology

Dear Colleagues,

In recent decades, the sustainable management of water resources has shifted to become more influenced by global climate variability and there a significant need has emerged to develop effective strategies enabling adaptation to a changing climate. Adapting to climate change requires strategies, technologies, and policies that address flood control, drought management, adequate water supply, safe water quality, and food security. Warming ocean waters that affect biological systems and sea level rise in coastal cities are critical emerging issues. Furthermore, the interconnectedness of the global economy and human activities creates a complex global environment. Therefore, understanding the social and human dimensions of water management and the related economic challenges are the most significant imperatives in equitable water management.

This Special Issue, entitled “Advances in Sustainable Climate Change Adaptation Research and Technology”, aims to publish original research, research reviews, case studies, and applications of advanced and emerging research and technology, policy, and cross-disciplinary education focused on the sustainable management of water resources/water infrastructure and food security. Specifically, the submission of articles introducing advanced research and technologies, such as data science/machine learning, satellite technologies (remote monitoring and sensor technologies or geospatial analyses), and artificial intelligence, into the sustainable management of water resources and water infrastructure, and discussing the social aspects, economic incentives, and policies for implementing sustainable water management systems, are all highly encouraged.

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. Sustainability 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 2400 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.
