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
