Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Water landscapes, infrastructure, policy, strategy and governance will all look very different in response to climate change and mitigation measures, circularity, inclusivity and sustainability, as paradigms shift, scenarios transform and systems transition. The ways in which these changes are visualised and communicated will also evolve and shift to better serve co-design and co-creation, which are at the core of emerging approaches. In this Special Issue we explore these transformations and evolutions through papers focused on articulating Advances in Approaches to Future Water Visioning and Communication. We are seeking novel papers that showcase these approaches and advances, which may cover but are not limited to:
- Innovations (of all types) in the water–energy–food nexus;
- Socio-ecological-technical systems of the future;
- Experimental techniques for water/environment/climate visualisation and communication;
- Future visioning approaches and analysis, and/or real-world application.
Bringing together the state of the art in these areas, this Special Issue will reinforce that pockets of the future are here in the present, and scaling up adaptation is possible, plausible and achievable, providing hope for the future.
