Urbanization, Climate Change, and the Environment
Session ID#: 80882
Session Description:
Deep and timely information on urban systems and their interactions with climate change and the environment is needed by governments, practitioners, and the private sector to inform sustainable urban development. Future urbanization stressed by climate change is expected to degrade Earth’s ecosystems by greatly altering the landscape within and around cities worldwide. Earth observations, geospatial datasets, and systematic/data-driven modeling frameworks help drive interdisciplinary approaches to understand and forecast urbanization processes and associated environmental impacts. This session seeks contributions to advance our understanding of social and ecological processes within and around urban areas, far-reaching impacts of urbanization on various dimensions of human and environmental health, and urbanization interactions with agriculture, hydrological cycle, and climate at multiple spatiotemporal scales. Potential topics include (but are not limited to): land use/cover change; food security; environmental impacts of urbanization on air, water, biodiversity, regional climate, and health; urban ecosystem functions; sustainable urban development strategies.
