This Special Issue seeks to identify the sustainability and environmental challenges in the Caspian Sea, as well as the initiatives and policies necessary for promoting sustainable water management within national and regional frameworks. In this Editorial, the authors initially delineate the geophysical, historical and geopolitical contexts in the Caspian Sea by further addressing the climatic, hydrological, environmental and socioeconomic challenges presented in this issue and outlining the initiatives for a sustainable future in the region.
