Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The climate is changing, and with it, so are ways and forms of life. The complexity and multidimensionality of climate change are widely acknowledged. Mediated through social, cultural, economic, and political structures and processes, its effects are disproportionate, unequal, and aggravating inequalities. To cope with climate change, the need to understand its impacts on territories, people and nature at a multi-scale level arises. Despite significant advancements in the attempt to unveil those dynamics, a gap remains in disclosing driving forces, paradigms, and worldviews.
We are pleased to invite you to promote a polyphonic discussion where different, or even opposite well-grounded perspectives are welcomed to co-create possible alternatives for viable futures on Earth for human and non-human beings.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Climate justice, environmental racism and socio-environmental conflicts;
- Public policies and environmental citizenship;
- Inequalities and socioecological integration;
- Socio-ecological futures;
- Society/nature relations;
- The multidimensionality of climate change impacts (on health, food, agriculture, environment, economy, technology, among others…);
- Global North and South perspectives.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
