Brief Introduction

The Global Forum on Earth Science, Climate Change & Sustainability (EARTHCLIMATEFORUM2026) serves as an international platform for researchers, scientists, industry experts, and policymakers to exchange knowledge on recent scientific advances and pressing challenges related to climate change and environmental sustainability. This forum features selected peer-reviewed contributions addressing earth system processes, climate impacts, mitigation and adaptation strategies, and sustainable development frameworks. The presented studies emphasize interdisciplinary methodologies and practical applications, supporting informed decision-making and advancing global efforts toward climate-resilient and low-carbon societies.

As the official publishing partner of the Global Forum on Earth Science, Climate Change & Sustainability, Urban and Building Science, in collaboration with the forum, is pleased to launch the Proceedings of the Global Forum on Earth Science, Climate Change & Sustainability Issue.

This Issue provides an important platform to publish original research, review articles, and high-quality communications on climate science, earth system dynamics, sustainable development, and related technologies. Contributions reflecting interdisciplinary approaches and practical insights that support global transitions toward resilient, low-carbon, and sustainable societies are particularly welcome.

This Issue welcomes:

• Original research papers (≥6000 words, excluding references, affiliations, tables, and figures)
• Review papers (no maximum length)
• High-quality short communications and perspective articles
