About this Research Topic
The goal of this Research Topic is to provide readers with an overview of the latest scientific breakthroughs and knowledge to inform community impact and policy changes related to climate resilience. The advances contained in the collection of manuscripts will cover solutions for the natural world and the built environment and their intersections with climate change affecting human society. Manuscripts will contain translational science being conducted by the scientific community, leading to “bold leaps and action”. The results contained will support the formulation of policies that chart a path to a more inhabitable and sustainable world through the mitigation of climate change.
This Research Topic will cover the list of themes below. The collection of manuscripts will be solicited from peer-reviewed abstracts submitted to the 2023 Innovations in Climate Resilience Conference. Full-length, peer-reviewed manuscripts will be sought and the collection of articles will comprise of fundamental science, policy, and applied technology papers.
• Climate Risk Analysis and National Security
• Resilient Built Infrastructure
• Ecosystem Restoration, Sustainability, and Other Innovative Climate Solutions
• Convergence with Health: Tools and Innovations to Prevent or Combat Climate Effects on Health
• Net-Zero Economy: Energy Technology, Decision-Making, and Capacity Expansion
Please note, that contributions to the collection are by invitation only for the attendees of the Innovations in Climate Resilience Conference.
