On September 23, the UN Climate Action Summit 2019 is convened under the slogan of "A RACE WE CAN WIN". To support this, we present a selection of new scientific findings in the fields of climate, atmospheric sciences, and sustainability and invite you to browse them. Read on and learn more about our content and products. Please also feel free to submit your book proposal or journal article today. You will find your Springer contacts in this eMail.
