Several countries are adversely affected by climate change, and much needs to be done to make the large population adapt to the new realities being unfolded.
Nowadays, buildings consume more energy, and many countries mainly use fossil fuels for electricity generation. With the rising global temperatures, our cities are also heating up. The world faces climate-related disasters such as extreme temperatures, floods, storms, droughts, water scarcity, etc. The government and individuals are putting their efforts into facing the climate change situation and focusing on climate adaptation, mitigation and sustainable development. However, most of these efforts are still unrecognized. There is a need to share, exchange and flourish the knowledge related to climate change adaptation, mitigation efforts and strategies; and learn from scientific evidence and experiences.
This research topic aims to focus on scientific knowledge, evidence-based research, case studies, individual efforts and experiments that taking place globally for climate change adaptation and resilience. Moreover, to highlight the methods, efforts and practices for battling climate change and promoting sustainability in the various fields of study.
This research topic welcomes contributions that can address the issues of environment and climate change towards a sustainable built environment. It is intended to focus (though not limited to) the following themes.
– Bioclimatic architecture
– Building systems
– Circularity and circular economy
– Climate action and disaster risk reduction
– Climate change adaptation and mitigation
– Climate change and urban environment
– Climate change risk management
