Journal Title：Regional Environmental Change

Environmental changes of many kinds are accelerating worldwide, posing significant challenges for humanity. Solutions are needed at the regional level, where physical features of the landscape, biological systems, and human institutions interact.

The goal of Regional Environmental Change is to publish scientific research and opinion papers that improve our understanding of the extent of these changes, their causes, their impacts on people, and the options for society to respond. "Regional" refers to the full range of scales between local and global, including regions defined by natural criteria, such as watersheds and ecosystems, and those defined by human activities, such as urban areas and their hinterlands.

We encourage submissions on interdisciplinary research across the natural sciences, social sciences and humanities, and on more focused studies that contribute towards the solutions to complex environmental problems. Topics addressed include (i) the regional manifestations of global change, especially the vulnerability of regions and sectors; (ii) the adaptation of social-ecological systems to environmental change in the context of sustainable development; and (iii) trans-boundary and cross-jurisdictional issues, legislative and governance frameworks, and the broad range of policy and management issues associated with building, maintaining and restoring robust social-ecological systems at regional scales.

The primary format of contributions are research articles, presenting new evidence from analyses of empirical data or else more theoretical investigations of regional environmental change. In addition to research articles, we also publish editorials, short communications, invited mini-reviews on topics of strong current interest, as well as special features that provide multifaceted discussion of complex topics or particular regions

全球范圍內，各種環境變化正在加速，給人類帶來重大挑戰。解決方案需要在區域層面上提出，因為景觀的物理特征、生物系統和人類機構相互作用。

《區域環境變化》的目標是發表科學研究和意見論文，以增進我們對這些變化的程度、原因、對人類的影響以及社會應對選擇的理解。“區域”是指從地方到全球的各種規模，包括由自然標準定義的區域，如流域和生態系統，以及由人類活動定義的區域，如城市地區及其腹地。

我們鼓勵提交自然科學、社會科學和人文科學的跨學科研究，以及有助于解決復雜環境問題的更有針對性的研究。討論的主題包括 (i) 全球變化的區域表現，特別是區域和部門的脆弱性；(ii) 在可持續發展的背景下社會生態系統對環境變化的適應；以及 (iii) 跨界和跨司法管轄區問題、立法和治理框架，以及與在區域范圍內建立、維護和恢復強大的社會生態系統相關的廣泛政策和管理問題。

投稿的主要形式是研究文章，從經驗數據分析或區域環境變化的更多理論調查中提供新證據。除了研究文章外，我們還發表社論、簡短通訊、受邀的關于當前強烈關注主題的迷你評論，以及提供復雜主題或特定區域多方面討論的特別專題
