The Journal of Climate Resilience & Climate Justice (CRCJ) is a new (July 2022) online, open access resource providing research reports, case studies, essays and opinions from the working edge of the climate resilience and climate justice fields.
Published by MIT Press (MITP), the CRCJ is for a general audience, with an emphasis on topics related to climate justice, and urban resilience and sustainability.
This is a peer reviewed journal that invites manuscripts from professionals working in state and local government, non-governmental organizations, academic research, think tanks and the private sector, in the US and abroad. Submissions by professional authors and graduate student submissions will be reviewed by peers in the field.
CRCJ’s content aims to address the many multidisciplinary facets of both climate resilience and climate justice fields. Articles will therefore focus on climate change impacts, mitigation, adaptation and migration; climate justice strategies; climate-related hazards, disaster preparedness and recovery strategies; climate resilience and sustainability planning; social capital building and stakeholder engagement; climate finance; and other important topics.
Submissions should be written in a non-technical, digestible and educational style for a broad audience. The word limit for each article will be between 3000-6000 words. Articles are meant to inform, educate and assist practitioners, planners and students and to expand knowledge-sharing and innovation for effectively addressing climate change mitigation and impacts, with a strong focus on societal equity.
Published once a year, each issue will include six to eight professional articles and two graduate student articles.
This is an open access journal with no author publishing fees, made possible through the generous support of the Nell Newman Foundation, and the City and County of Boulder, Colorado.
