We are calling for articles to our new Collection on Climate action, in support of the UN Sustainable Development Goal: SDG 13. This collection creates a cross-disciplinary space for researchers and stakeholders working across various disciplines to address this significant global issue. We bring together scholarship and policy that focuses on the urgent action required to combat climate change and its impacts.
The aim of SDG13 is to exhort urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. Every person, in every country in every continent will be impacted in some shape or form by climate change. Climate change is caused by human activities and threatens life on earth as we know it. With rising greenhouse gas emissions, climate change is occurring at rates much faster than anticipated. Its impacts can be devastating and include extreme and changing weather patterns and rising sea levels. Urgent and transformative measures are necessary to avoid catastrophic consequences and secure a sustainable future for generations to come.
We are welcoming a range of perspectives including theoretical, methodological, quantitative and qualitative studies. Original Research and Review Papers are accepted. We are specifically interested in research that advances understanding on:
- Strengthening resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related hazards and natural disasters in all countries
- The integration of climate change measures into national policies, strategies and planning
- Improving education, awareness-raising and human and institutional capacity on climate change mitigation, adaptation, impact reduction and early warning
- Implement the commitment undertaken by developed-country parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change to a goal of mobilizing jointly $100 billion annually to address the needs of developing countries and fully operationalize the Green Climate Fund through its capitalization as soon as possible
- The promotion of mechanisms for raising capacity for effective climate change-related planning and management in least developed countries and small island developing States, including focusing on women, youth and local and marginalized communities
