Call for papers International Journal of Climate Change Strategies and Management

Article Type: Call for papers From: Management of Environmental Quality: An International Journal, Volume 20, Issue 4

In the history of science there have been only a few issues which have mobilized the attention of scientists and policy-makers alike to the same extent as the current issue of climate change. The release of the 4th Assessment produced by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in the summer of 2007, for example, has put the reality of human-induced global warming beyond any doubt.

Although the subject-matter of climate change is regarded as a critical issue and sound scientific knowledge is needed in order to address the problem in a holistic way, there is a paucity of academic, peerreviewed publications specifically focusing on the management aspects of climate change or on approaches, methods, strategies, and other types of action needed in order to cope with the challenge of climate change. It is on the basis of this perceived need that the International Journal of Climate Strategies and Management (IJCCSM) has been created. IJCCSM, which is published by Emerald Group Publishing Limited, will report on climate change programmes, strategies and action plans. It will disseminate case studies, projects and programmes with consideration of market opportunities, cost savings and the increased value of climate mitigation and adaptation measures. Furthermore, the journal will also focus on the dissemination of experiences and foster information exchange with respect to pilot

projects in areas such as climate change and CO2 emissions, the contribution of industry to global warming, the impacts of transport on the climate, the influence of legislation and appraisals of the impacts of regulations, as well as the links between climate change and disaster management. The journal is supported by a prestigious Editorial Advisory Board with over 20 members representing academia, research institutes, industry, well-established NGOs and government agencies. The Editorial Board has members from various parts of the world, thus providing a sound geographical balance. We are currently seeking papers for the inaugural volume, to be published in 2009. Submissions should be sent by post or e-mail to the Editor: Prof. Dr H.C. Walter Leal E-mail: walter.leal@ls.haw-hamburg.de Further details on the journal and guidelines for submissions can be seen at: www.emeraldinsight.com/ijccsm.htm
