Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite submissions to this Special Issue of the MDPI journal Climate, titled "New Perspectives in Air Pollution, Climate, and Public Health", dedicated to exploring innovative research in the intersection of air pollution, climate change, and public health. Our primary objective is to enhance understanding of how atmospheric contaminants interact with climatic variables to impact human health and well-being. This Special Issue will gather cutting-edge studies that offer new insights into the mechanisms through which air pollution and climate variability influence public health outcomes.
We aim to address a broad range of topics, including, but not limited to, the analysis of short- and long-term health effects linked to air pollution exposure, strategies for mitigating the health risks associated with climate change, and the development of sustainable policies and technologies to improve air quality and health resilience. Papers that investigate the socio-economic and institutional dimensions of air quality management, particularly in urban, coastal, and agricultural settings, are particularly desirable.
Contributions may include empirical research, comprehensive review articles, and case studies that assess the effectiveness of interventions and policies aimed at reducing the health impacts of air pollution and climate change. By integrating scientific research into health policy and practice, this Special Issue aims to inform and shape public health strategies that effectively respond to the challenges posed by the changing climate and deteriorating air quality.
This Special Issue welcomes submissions that not only highlight problems but also focus on proactive solutions and interventions at both the local and global levels to enhance public health outcomes in the face of air pollution and climate change.
