Climate change is an urgent issue that has a significant impact on the environment and human life. Rising global temperatures, changing weather patterns, and extreme weather events are just a few of the impacts of climate change that are felt around the world. The consequences of climate change extend beyond just the environment and have far-reaching effects on human health, social and economic systems, and the natural world.

The impact of climate change on urban and rural environments is one issue that deserves to be comprehensively addressed, for the rising global temperature consequently led to more frequent and severe heatwaves in urban areas, causing increased morbidity and mortality. The impact of climate change on rural areas, on the other hand, has led to changes in farming practices, food insecurity, and other environmental issues. Only through thorough study, research, and preparedness, can we mitigate these devastating effects on both rural and urban environments.

Another critical area of focus is the role of renewable energy in mitigating the effects of climate change. As the world transitions from fossil fuels to renewable energy, we collectively aim to explore the latest research and best practices in renewable energy technologies, such as solar, wind, and geothermal. The role of energy efficiency in mitigating climate change, such as building design, transportation, and energy storage cannot be understated, for it is the way of the future.

IEREK is organizing the 4^th international conference “Climate Change and Environmental Sustainability (CCES): A Multidisciplinary Approach to energy for Climate Action” virtually in collaboration with Chongqing University, China. The conference will offer a unique platform for interdisciplinary discussions and collaborations on mitigating the effects of climate change and promoting sustainable development.
