主题范围

Night-time urban heat island in Iquique and Alto Hospicio, Northern Chile, January 2023 (copyright Oliver Meseguer-Ruiz and Pamela Smith Guerra)

Cities change the natural environment and directly impact human life conditions. The effects have become increasingly evident in recent decades, from the urban heat island phenomenon to the emergence of sacrifice zones in cities, undermining climate justice. This reality has impacted in multiple ways on people’s health, well-being and daily activities. Because of this, the identification of the different phenomena, their measurement and monitoring, the analysis of the physical basis, as well as the different implications that can be triggered in the urban environment and the possible measures to be considered for their mitigation, are of particular importance. This issue assesses the vulnerability of urban systems to climate change and explores options for adaptation, examining the capacities and limits of cities to mitigate risks, enhancing resilience, and enabling more just outcomes. The diverse and transdisciplinary nature of this issue makes it particularly amenable to different methodologies, which will be used to answer complex questions. This collection gains added relevance in light of the forthcoming IPCC Special Report on Climate Change and Cities (2027).

We welcome submissions on topics such as:

• extreme event impacts on urban environments
• equity implications of climate impacts and adaptation solutions
• transitioning towards sustainable cities
• nature-based solutions applied to urban challenges
• climate justice
• climate-sensitive urban planning
