Climate Change and Aquatic Ecosystems: Impacts, Mitigation and Adaptation
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
The United Nations' 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development calls for concerted efforts to enhance knowledge of the state of oceans, seas, and marine resources. Over the last few decades, climate change has posed significant challenges to natural environments and society, with particularly detrimental impacts on aquatic ecosystems. Further detrimental impacts are expected under the ongoing context of global warming, including phenomena such as sea level rise, extreme events, and ocean acidification. These changes lead to alterations in marine and freshwater ecosystems, causing habitat loss and disruption of biodiversity and functioning, putting them at risk. Concerns exist regarding the current and projected adverse effects of climate change on these environments, and urgent action is needed to address this problem. Increased understanding and immediate action are essential to reduce vulnerability and increase the resilience of these ecosystems. This requires the development and implementation of coordinated mitigation and adaptation measures to promote their sustainability and environmental health in general. This topic will focus on the impacts and effects of climate change on aquatic ecosystems, as well as propose and outline strategies for mitigation and adaptation. We welcome the submission of high-quality manuscripts that present original research ideas or results, as well as comprehensive reviews offering novel perspectives.
