About this Research Topic
Climate resiliency is focused on developing solutions to climate change and includes mitigation, adaptation, and sustainability. This Research Topic will comprise of a collection of manuscripts that emerge from the third annual Innovations in Climate Resilience Conference, which was held April 22-24, 2024, in Washington DC. Submission of papers to the collection offers scientists and researchers an opportunity to share scientific breakthroughs, technical reviews, and environmental science and policy at the forefront of innovations that focus on the reduction of the impacts of climate change, restoration of ecosystems, and enabling adaptation of built infrastructure and societies. Manuscripts should showcase science and technology efforts that dramatically reduce the trajectory of causative factors of climate change.
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 and policy that lead to “solutions for scaling change.” 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 three key themes: Adaptation, Mitigation, and Sustainability. The collection of manuscripts will be solicited from peer-reviewed abstracts submitted to the 2024 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.
Please note, that contributions to the collection are by invitation only for the attendees of the Innovations in Climate Resilience Conference.
