Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
During the past several decades, we have experienced unprecedented extreme climate events mainly driven by climate change, leading to a huge challenge in water resources management. The altered climate regime has been considered as the main driver of more frequent and severe natural disasters such as flood, typhoon, and drought. Thus, sustainable water resources planning and management are essential for the safety and security of water resources. For this purpose, we need to evaluate trends in historical and projected climate variables from the most reliable observations and up-to-date climate models. Furthermore, inherent uncertainties in future projections also need to be quantified for robust adaptations to climate change.
This Special Issue aims to discuss sustainable water resources planning and management under climate change. A wide range of relevant topics will be welcome, such as trend and frequency analysis of extreme events, sustainable planning and management to cope with climate changes, climate change modelling, uncertainty analysis, risk assessment, etc. In particular, it is preferred to employ the up-to-date CMIP6 (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 6) experiments that have recently been released and are now available. The CMIP is an international collaborative effort to improve and share the knowledge about climate change, and a number of different global climate models participate in this project. Research articles and case studies that implement comparisons between the CMIP6 and CMIP5 projections could provide useful information on the interpretation of the CMIP6 projection results. However, articles that employ CMIP5 projections will be also welcome.
Therefore, a variety of research articles, case studies, and review articles are invited to be submitted to this Special Issue in order to highlight and share the innovative findings regarding sustainable water resources management under a changing climate.

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.
