The scope of this Research Topic is to foster ideas and recommendations regarding future options to ensure the resilience of emerging and developed economies in mitigating climate change risks and effects. A steady economic growth of nations is always desirable and a target for national decision-makers, but additional involvement of key stakeholders in curbing environmental degradation is critical for sustainable development. This Research Topic brings together four papers to clarify the challenges and open new paths and perspectives in this sense. The most important elements in addressing climate change challenges were financial stability and sustainability. Moreover, healthcare costs are also considered, bearing in mind the potential of pollution and global warming to affect human health. Corroborating all stakeholders’ actions by considering relevant influences in climate change resilience and mitigation for sustainable development is critical.
Human health appears to be a major concern related to the effects of climate change. In this sense,
While building resilience strategies,
Chiana’s financial stability was evaluated
Climate risks and farmers’ adaptation to seasonal droughts in China have been evaluated by
We conclude that while economic development and stability represent important targets for all nations, the negative effects of climate change target of all stakeholders. Additionally, as presented by the papers mentioned above, human health and development must be a key pillar of the new development model.
Future research should focus on developing new solutions for bringing together all forces, capturing all relevant factors in mitigating climate change, and conducting a more sustainable and human-centered development.
