Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue’s focus is fundamental and applied research in the conceptualization, systematization, modeling, and formal analysis of the complex dynamics and decision-making underlying climate change and sustainable development policies. Contributions may range across the following research areas:
- conceptualization and systematization of climate change challenges from a holistic perspective involving dynamics of the oceans, atmosphere, geosphere, biosphere, and society;
- statistic–dynamic methods of extraction and analysis of information related to the dynamics of complex systems from empirical and computational records;
- detection of patterns of spatial and temporal climatic variability from data of the dynamics of the Earth system and attribution to underlying mechanisms;
- methods of evaluating uncertainty and predictability in complex system dynamics for model optimization and the provision of decision-making support to sustainable development policy-makers.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Climate is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
