Aims
The Journal of Climate Change (JCC) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal focused on engineering solutions to the challenges of climate change. It provides a reputable platform for researchers, academics, and professionals to share innovative methodologies, technical advances, and applied research that contribute to global mitigation and adaptation efforts. By publishing high-quality research articles, reviews, case studies, and technical reports, JCC promotes the development of sustainable energy technologies, environmental engineering applications, and climate-resilient infrastructure that support sustainability and low-carbon futures.
Scope The Journal of Climate Change (JCC) publishes original research articles, case studies, technical reports, and select review papers that maintain a clear technical focus within the field of environmental engineering. The journal emphasises engineering and applied science contributions that directly address climate change mitigation and adaptation. Core areas include: - Sustainable Energy Technologies: Development, integration, optimisation, and performance evaluation of renewable systems such as solar, wind, geothermal, and biomass, alongside low-carbon power generation. - Engineering Solutions for Mitigation and Adaptation: Mechanical, civil, structural, and environmental engineering approaches that reduce emissions, improve efficiency, and support climate resilience. - Pollution, Sanitary Engineering, and Waste Management: Design, treatment, and management technologies for air, water, and solid waste to minimise environmental impact and enhance resource recovery. - Water Science and Technology: Engineering solutions for water treatment, conservation, distribution, and climate-resilient infrastructure. - Atmospheric Science and Modelling: Technical studies and computational modelling of air quality, greenhouse gases, and climate systems. - Renewable Energy, Sustainability, and the Environment: Engineering applications that integrate renewable energy and sustainable practices into energy systems and infrastructure. - Technological Innovations: Emerging technologies such as energy storage, smart grids, hydrogen systems, and carbon capture that advance low-carbon development. All submissions undergo rigorous peer review, with editorial independence strictly maintained to ensure scientific integrity and technical quality.

The Journal of Climate Change is an open access journal that provides free, immediate, and unrestricted online access to all its published content for readers around the world.
- This journal provides immediate open access to its content under the Creative Commons BY 4.0 license. Authors who publish with this journal retain all copyrights and agree to the terms of the above-mentioned CC BY 4.0 license.
- Open access publishing services, which include end-to-end support–from research integrity and peer review, through to innovations in technology and artificial intelligence as well as global dissemination – are supported through Article Processing Charges (APCs). APCs enable the long-term stability of our program, and facilitate equal opportunity to seek, share and create knowledge that benefits all society without restriction.
- Open access to the results of publicly funded research is of huge value, offering significant social and economic benefits. The open access publishing model, defined by the Berlin Agreement in 2003, improves the pace, efficiency, and value of research to society. By its very nature, it improves the visibility of authors' work and enables better scholarly exchange, and therefore, the potential impact of that work. By eliminating the barriers that block the free distribution of knowledge, open access enables scientists to collaborate better, innovate faster, and deliver the solutions we need for healthy lives on a healthy planet.
