Significant increases in climate change risks have been reported around the world due to significantly increasing temperatures. For example, climate extreme events such as heatwaves, rainstorms, droughts, and hurricanes, have been observed to become more extreme and frequent, which has already resulted in large losses for society, the economy, and natural ecosystems. The IPCC AR6 report has documented that the risks of climate change would be further increased in the future at both the global and regional scales under continuous greenhouse gas emissions. Faced with these threats of ongoing climate change, voices urging the mitigation of the risks and impacts of climate change have become loud within governmental bodies, scientific communities, and the general public.
With the rapid development of monitoring and climate modeling, this research topic aims to bring together novel observational and numerical modeling studies regarding the changes in risks of climate extreme events and the associated impacts at global, regional or local scales, in the past, present, and future. Studies related to the changes in high temperatures, droughts, precipitation extremes, etc. are welcome, especially their potential impacts on society in sectors such as, hydrology, and agriculture. The goal of this research topic is to provide valuable adaptation and mitigation strategies for decision-makers in different sectors.
This research topic welcomes contributions in the form of Original Research Articles and Review Articles regarding climate extreme changes and their impacts. The highlights of this topic include, but are not limited to, the following points:
• Climate extreme changes and potential impacts on human society
• Flood risks in a changing environment and evaluations of flood risks in terms of socioeconomy
• Ecological responses to climate changes and human activities
• Urban resilience in a warming climate in terms of sustainability
• Variations of agro-meteorological resources under climate change, and the effect of climate change on crop yield, grain quality and carbon emissions
• Cropping system management practices to adapt to climate change
• Carbon footprint in the cropping systems
