Aims and Scope

The "Journal of Climate Change Research" (JCCR) is a globally recognized peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing climate change research within the Asia-Pacific region. JCCR stands as a prominent platform for researchers, scientists, policymakers, and stakeholders interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the unique climate challenges, scientific advancements, and policy developments specific to this diverse and critical geographical area. JCCR's primary aim is to contribute substantially to the scientific community’s understanding of climate change within the Asia-Pacific region, with a focus on:

1. Regional Climate Science:
- • Advancing knowledge of the region's climate systems, variability, and trends
- • Investigating regional climate impacts, including extreme events, sea-level rise, and temperature variations
- • Studying the connections between global climate drivers and regional climate patterns
2. Regional Climate Policy and Governance:
- • Analyzing the unique policy challenges and opportunities related to climate change mitigation and adaptation in Asia-Pacific nations
- • Evaluating the effectiveness of regional climate policies and governance mechanisms
- • Assessing the economic, social, and environmental implications of regional climate change policies
3. Regional Climate Technology for Mitigation and Adaptation:
- • Showcasing technological innovations tailored to address the unique challenges for climate mitigation faced by Asia-Pacific nations
- • Highlighting adaptation strategies for vulnerable regions, including coastal communities and small island states
- • Promoting interdisciplinary research at the intersection of climate science, technology, and regional efforts for climate mitigation and adaptation
4. Regional Climate Data and Modeling:
- • Advancing the acquisition, analysis, and dissemination of climate data specific to the Asia-Pacific region
- • Developing regional climate models and projections for more accurate and regionally relevant assessments
- • Encouraging the open sharing of regional climate data for research, policy, and decision-making purposes

JCCR invites contributions that align with its mission of promoting rigorous scientific inquiry, technological innovation, and policy analysis focused on the Asia-Pacific region's climate change dynamics. The journal encompasses a wide range of manuscript types:

1. Original Research Articles: JCCR seeks empirical and theoretical research papers that significantly advance the understanding of climate change science specific to the Asia-Pacific region. These contributions should employ sound scientific methods, provide novel insights, and have clear regional implications.
2. Regional Policy Analysis: Recognizing the vital role of policy in addressing regional climate challenges, JCCR invites manuscripts that analyze the scientific basis of climate policies specific to the Asia-Pacific region, their potential impacts, and their alignment with regional climate science.
3. Regional Technological Solutions: The journal welcomes research articles and reports on innovative technologies and engineering solutions designed to address climate change challenges unique to the Asia-Pacific region, enhance adaptation and resilience, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
4. Regional Climate Modeling and Data Analysis: JCCR encourages submissions that improve regional climate models, data analysis techniques, and data-sharing initiatives. These contributions should enhance our ability to make regionally relevant climate predictions and assessments.

The "Journal of Climate Change Research" stands as a leading source of knowledge and insight into climate change within the Asia-Pacific region. With its specialized focus, JCCR aims to foster regional collaboration, knowledge sharing, and action in response to the unique climate challenges faced by nations in this vital part of the world. We invite researchers, policymakers, scientists, and stakeholders to join us in this important mission to advance understanding and address the climate change issues that impact the Asia-Pacific region.
