Features: To promote and popularize scientific knowledge about climate and climate change, and to enhance the public's scientific understanding of global change issues, we have organized and compiled the publication of this series, "Hot Topics in Global Change." This series consists of 18 volumes, written by renowned experts in relevant fields. The content includes the following three aspects: First, based on a large amount of monitoring data, it reveals the key facts of global change and their manifestations in various subsystems. Second, based on interdisciplinary theories such as solar radiation, atmospheric chemistry, atmospheric physics, environmental and ecological evolution, it explains the causes of climate change in an accessible manner. Third, guided by the theory of sustainable development, it proposes various strategies, approaches, and methods for human adaptation and mitigation of global change. The publication of this series aims to help people develop a clear and comprehensive scientific understanding of global change, thereby increasing their attention to global change and recognizing China's role and position in it at a higher level and broader scope. It also encourages people to actively participate in collective decision-making for human society and protect the Earth environment that sustains us.
