Aims

The Journal is dedicated to publishing works from all domains of study, provided that the content of the piece has a significant bearing on the study of the climate or of climate change. To this end, it carries an ethos that is:

  • expressly open to diverse and novel ways of thinking;
  • reflective upon and critical of a conventional vision;
  • relevant to both theoretical and practical matters.

Scope

The Journal covers the full extent of climate-related research, with a substantively global approach. It includes, but is not limited to:

  • climate law and litigation, including comparative legal analysis;
  • climate policy and regulation, both domestic and international;
  • climate politics, governance, diplomacy and institutional philosophy;
  • climate finance and environmental economics;
  • climate psychology and behavioural science;
  • climate-related area and strategic studies;
  • climate-related architectural and built environment research;
  • climate-related sociological and anthropological studies;
  • climate-related artistic, literary, and historical research;
  • climate science, including zoology, geochemistry, and geophysics;
  • climate engineering, including climate repair approaches;
  • climate-related energy studies, especially renewables research;
  • the study of national and transnational climate organisations;
  • the study of technological and digital infrastructure and the climate.
