The COVID-19 situation has taught us that we need to share knowledge and discoveries to effectively address any crisis. By opening up climate research we allow equal, non-discriminatory, and quick access to shared knowledge, which is especially important for those communities that are already impacted by the consequences of climate change. Open science can lead to a climate justice because it allows all parties to design an evidence-informed response and practice changes, both top-down and bottom-up. <\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; margin: 0cm;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><b><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Professor Dr. Eduardo Jacob-Lopes<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; margin: 0cm;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><i><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Federal University of Santa Maria, Brazil; Editor in Chief, Green Energy and Environmental Technology<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; margin: 0cm;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"media-element file-teaser\" title=\"Default Title Text\" src=\"https:\/\/insights.cactusglobal.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/medium\/public\/Eduardo.jpg?itok=m-eeEGHL\" alt=\"Default Alt text\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; margin: 0cm;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><i><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Climate change has a strong global impact, and we are already experiencing this. Scientists are working hard to find innovative sustainable solutions to our problems: looking at renewable energy resources; minimizing the carbon footprint; and building our future by developing effective and sustainable methods to recognize and use biomass as a valuable resource. The pace of climate change requires a fast, interdisciplinary and collaborative approach. The principles of Open Science are simple: share data, code and research papers through Open Access; make manuscripts fully reproducible and available to both fellow scientists and a wider audience. These actions are crucial steps in fostering collaboration. They will advance and transform climate change research. IntechOpen has recognized the need to raise awareness of Open Science through our journal publications.

As the first generations experience the negative effects, let&#8217;s look at the opportunity to do something about it &#8211; by developing clean energy systems and technologies, promoting a healthier and greener economy, and building energy-efficient towns and cities. Systematic research precedes all these technological solutions. Publishing that research &#8211; on time &#8211; maximises our chances to help our planet and improve our quality of life. Publishing research through the Open Access model is the most efficient dissemination.

In the face of such tremendous challenges, we must advance our understanding on the science of climate change and environmental sustainability to find successful and efficient adaptation and mitigation methods to reduce and overcome the negative effects of planetary changes. To tackle global challenges of development and environment, the United Nations adopted 17 Sustainable Development Goals. To achieve them, innovative progress, new scientific knowledge, and breakthrough findings on climate change and environmental sustainability must be widely shared for the global general public. It is particularly crucial for diverse scientific research groups, especially for those in vulnerable developing regions and resource limited countries in the world, that we adapt to the open science process. Thus, open access publications can be very useful for enhancing academic and non-academic communication of climate change and sustainability in multiple aspects of science, technology, economics, and society.<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; margin: 0cm;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><b><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Associate Professor Murat Eyvaz<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; margin: 0cm;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><i><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Gebze Technical University, Turkey; Book Editor<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; margin: 0cm;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"media-element file-teaser\" title=\"Default Title Text\" src=\"https:\/\/insights.cactusglobal.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/medium\/public\/Murat.png?itok=9cL1JvP8\" alt=\"Default Alt text\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; margin: 0cm;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><i><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">This summer, the forests, the lungs of our planet, burned and disappeared again in many countries. Today, only one-tenth of forest fires occur spontaneously in nature, and the others occur in dry weather and drought. The impacts of climate change mean they are no longer a natural part of our ecosystem. Forest fires and climate change mutually increase their effects. Elevated temperatures and decreasing rainfall with climate change cause drought, and increased drought, high air temperatures, low relative humidity, lightning, and strong winds in turn cause climate change, resulting in hotter, drier, and longer fire seasons, which further increases wildfires. What\u2019s more, climate change is worsening the impact of wildfires, often by destroying fragile and carbon-rich ecosystems such as peatlands and rainforests. Unfortunately, this cycle continues. If we do not reduce carbon dioxide emissions and save energy and water, our climate will continue to change, our water will continue to run out and our forests will continue to burn. Let us change the habits that will harm our climate. Let us not let our climate change.<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; margin: 0cm;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><b><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Dr. Rajesh Banu Jeyakumar<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; margin: 0cm;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><i><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Central University of Tamil Nadu, India; Book Editor<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; margin: 0cm;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"media-element file-teaser\" title=\"Default Title Text\" src=\"https:\/\/insights.cactusglobal.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/medium\/public\/Rajesh.jpg?itok=MVKE1eqZ\" alt=\"Default Alt text\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; margin: 0cm;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><i><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Open science is the need of the hour, especially in case studies of climate change.
