Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Civil society in Asia is facing population growth, urban sprawl, as well as industrial and economic development, leading to unpredictable land use changes and climate change, which will bring new adaptation and disaster risk management challenges. Sustainable disaster risk governance and management will play an essential role in addressing critical issues in the region.
In order to tackle critical issues effectively, experts and scholars have developed various frameworks for adaptation to climate change and disaster risk management. These approaches apply empirical data, natural factors, and knowledge-based methods to evaluate the implementation of sustainable development across multiple operational scales (e.g., local, regional, or national). The findings from such empirical studies contribute to developing sustainability in Asia at different spatial scales.
This Special Issue aims to bridge the gaps between climate change, disaster risk, adaptation strategy, and risk management and provide valuable insights for enhancing the resilience or capacity of the natural environment and infrastructure to mitigate the impacts of climate change at local, national, and regional levels. The Special Issue will focus on qualitative and quantitative analyses of climate change adaptation and disaster risk management in Asia, including but not limited to case studies, conceptual reviews, and policy-relevant articles in Asia. Contributions can be in the form of articles or reviews.
