Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Extreme rainfall caused by climate change is a global issue. Addressing how to convert water-related challenges into valuable opportunities through management, technology, and policy and achieving sustainable development are of paramount importance. Ecological engineering represents a nature-based approach to water management and governance. It leverages natural processes to adapt to climate change while meeting the goals of ecological and environmental sustainability, as outlined by the concept of nature-based solutions (NBSs), thereby fostering both human well-being and ecological harmony. This Special Issue aims to integrate management strategies, engineering technologies, and monitoring and early warning systems to address environmental challenges relating to water. It will also evaluate the performance and efficacy of these approaches in terms of ecological conservation and environmental sustainability to identify the most suitable adaptation strategies.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Ecological engineering.
- Climate change adaptation.
- Nature-based solutions.
- Green infrastructure.
- Water resource management.
- Ecological surveys and monitoring.
- Soil and water conservation engineering.
- Environmental protection policies.
- Mitigation of hydro-meteo hazards.
- Geotechnical engineering.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
