This Special Issue contains all the contributions presented at In the 5th edition of this Regional Climate and Environment Dynamics, were we proposed an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary scientific event focusing on climate and environmental changes in the Central and Eastern Europe region since the Last Glacial Maximum. We envisage that this conference provided more insight into the most recent advances in geosciences and help enhance regional collaboration in research, which is still understated, albeit significant steps have been taken in recent years.

Our conference can be regarded as a follow-up event on the previous our conferences organized by our team in 2011, 2014, 2016 and 2021, which have provided a good framework for sharing research and collaboration for further investigation of the Carpathian-Lower Danube-Balkan Region.

The conference was an initiative of the Department of Geography, University of Suceava and Ministry of Research, Innovation and Digitization (Romania), endorsed by Past Global Changes (PAGES), Mountain Research Initiative, Science for Carpathians and Carpathian Convention and supported by Association of Applied Geography GEOCONCEPT  and was held in Vatra Dornei (Romania), a traditional town in the picturesque region of Bukowina, between  24 and 27 November 2022.
