Call for Papers - SI on Climate Change and Urban Sustainability: Energy, Environment, and Economic Policy

Special Issue on Climate Change and Urban Sustainability: Energy, Environment, and Economic Policy

Aims and Scope
This Special Issue seeks novel scientific papers on energy, environment, and economic policy that, if chosen well, can improve adaptation and mitigation to climate change and thus advance urban sustainability. By assembling diverse perspectives and empirical studies, we hope to provide policymakers, scholars and the public with an in-depth understanding and reference on this important topic. Global warming and climate extremes are causing severe environmental, economic, and social consequences to urban sustainability. At the same time, with the acceleration of urbanization, the production, living, transport and other activities in cities consume 78 per cent of the world's energy and emit more than 60 per cent of greenhouse gases. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has predicted that if the current patterns of energy consumption continue, by the end of the 21st century, the Earth's carbon dioxide concentration could exceed 700 ppm, which could lead to a global temperature rise of 1.4℃ - 5.8℃. Obviously, climate change challenges us all to find a new development paradigm that balances economic growth and long-term prosperity with social progress and ecological sustainability, thus making cities an important battleground in the fight against climate change.
