Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The challenge when implementing climate change mitigation plans is to ensure Greenhouse Gas (GHG) reduction. However, we have, at the same, to safeguard sustainable growth and development, as this will enhance well-being by pursuing economic growth and preventing environment degradation. This is crucial for most of the vulnerable areas in the world, but especially rural areas, being already under multiple pressures such as desertification, water shortage and persistent urbanization.

Considering the importance of the theme “Adaptation to Climate Change” in many sectors, this Special Issue is focused on enhancing environmental and social sustainability.

We are looking for original articles from the those presented to OPENEARTH2 to be published as extended articles.
