Abstract
In Asia and the Pacific, the effects of climate change have become severe; specifically, South Asia is the most vulnerable region in the world. The human and financial effects could be substantially worse if floods, droughts, cyclones, and other extreme climatic events take place in this region frequently. In this special issue, the authors reported climate change indicators such as sea-level rise, flood, drought, geographical, geopolitical and geological conditions. National and regional food security has also been threatened during the last decade due to the adverse effects of climate change on crop production. To overcome such challenges of climate change, introducing climate-smart agriculture, adaptation and mitigation policies to tackle the effect of climate change are required from regional perspectives. Therefore, this special issue solely highlights those climate change points with clarity to refer to the SDGs, mitigation of risk and adoption of new policies and proposes solutions for the adverse effects of climate change and its vulnerability to agricultural livelihoods.
期刊介绍：
The Asia-Pacific Journal of Regional Science expands the frontiers of regional science through the diffusion of intrinsically developed and advanced modern, regional science methodologies throughout the Asia-Pacific region. Articles published in the journal foster progress and development of regional science through the promotion of comprehensive and interdisciplinary academic studies in relationship to research in regional science across the globe. The journal’s scope includes articles dedicated to theoretical economics, positive economics including econometrics and statistical analysis and input–output analysis, CGE, Simulation, applied economics including international economics, regional economics, industrial organization, analysis of governance and institutional issues, law and economics, migration and labor markets, spatial economics, land economics, urban economics, agricultural economics, environmental economics, behavioral economics and spatial analysis with GIS/RS data education economics, sociology including urban sociology, rural sociology, environmental sociology and educational sociology, as well as traffic engineering. The journal provides a unique platform for its research community to further develop, analyze, and resolve urgent regional and urban issues in Asia, and to further refine established research around the world in this multidisciplinary field. The journal invites original articles, proposals, and book reviews.The Asia-Pacific Journal of Regional Science is a new English-language journal that spun out of Chiikigakukenkyuu, which has a 45-year history of publishing the best Japanese research in regional science in the Japanese language and, more recently and more frequently, in English. The development of regional science as an international discipline has necessitated the need for a new publication in English. The Asia-Pacific Journal of Regional Science is a publishing vehicle for English-language contributions to the field in Japan, across the complete Asia-Pacific arena, and beyond.Content published in this journal is peer reviewed (Double Blind).
