Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Coastal regions are vulnerable to extreme weather, such as storms, which incur significant costs to coastal societies. As a consequence of climate change, global coastal communities are increasingly at risk from sea level rise and increased storm intensities. Rapid large-scale coastal infrastructure development, frequent strikes of intensive natural disasters, and temperature fluctuations increase coastal vulnerability. In developing countries, climate change influences can be catastrophic in terms of human cost, but with developed nations, there is also more of an economic challenge. Therefore, to inform coastal zone management, coastal vulnerability assessments with respect to present and predicted climate change scenarios are important.
The main emphasis of this Special Issue is current research on global and regional coastal vulnerability and coastal management and mitigation strategies for protecting coastal areas from diverse viewpoints. There is no geographical remit (study area) for the submissions.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
Subject areas include: (relating to the Special Issue)
- Coastal disasters;
- Coastal communities and infrastructure;
- Coastal vulnerability;
- Disaster management;
- Climate change;
- Vulnerability mapping;
- Adaption and mitigation;
- Risk assessment;
- GIS and spatial tools.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
An international workshop on climate change and coastal hazards will be conducted on 11-12th May 2023 at EIC, UCLan.
The workshop organizers are pleased to invite you to submit an abstract or full paper to present at this international workshop within the remit of the following themes:
- Climate change and coastal vulnerability
- Risk assessment and coastal management
- Disasters and risk assessment
- New methods and strategies & remote sensing/satellite data
- GIS and vulnerability maps

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.
