Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Under the superposition resonance of climate change and COVID-19, the process of regional sustainable development goals is becoming increasingly complex. Climate change directly alters hydrological processes and affects the sustainability of regional water use. Regional water resource management and water–carbon nexus relationships provide guidance for water conservation and emission reduction. From a technical perspective, carbon peak path simulation based on emission characteristics can provide key information for carbon neutrality decision making. From a market perspective, carbon trading mechanisms are market-oriented tools that can effectively control total emissions. From a governance perspective, climate and environmental actions have a broad collaborative foundation with regional sustainable development, and establishing a climate and environmental governance system is of great significance. Therefore, this Special Issue will focus on climate effects on water cycles and land surface processes, the sustainability of water resources, the regional water–food–carbon nexus, identifying and optimizing the carbon peak pathways, allocating and trading carbon emission rights, climate action and sustainable development goals, climate and environmental governance systems, and other content providing decision-making references for actively addressing climate change, environmental pollution, and achieving sustainable development.
Core content:
- Climate change and water cycles.
- Climate change and land surface processes.
- Climate change and the sustainable development goals.
- Climate governance system.
- Sustainability of water use and water conservation policies.
- Management and optimal allocation of regional water resources.
- The regional water––food–carbon nexus.
- Identification and optimization of carbon peak paths.
- Carbon emission rights allocation and trading.
- Regional sustainable development policies.

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. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
