Dear Colleagues,

Call for Papers: "World Symposium on Climate Change Policies: Science and Technology in Support of Policy-Making in Climate
Change Mitigation and Adaptation", Manchester, UK -On-line, 19th September 2023


Background

Climate change policies are important tools in supporting the  legislative and executive branches in promoting conditions for assertive  action to advances the  climate agenda. Sound policies are essential for the implementation of climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies. But even though climate change 
policies are a vital component for the implementation of climate action, including the implementation of SDG13, there is a perceived need to  have in-depth discussions on how best they may designed, and implemented.

Against this background, the UK Consortium for Sustainability Research (UK-CSR),  Ecology and Environment Research Centre

Climate Change Policies: Science and Technology in Support of Policy-Making in Climate
Change Mitigation and Adaptation", which will follow the success of the "Handbook of Climate
Change Resilience"https://link.springer.com/referencework/10.1007/978-3-319-93336-8  and "Handbook of Climate Change Management" https://link.springer.com/referencework/10.1007/978-3-030-57281-5  which, with 6 volumes and over 500 authors, is the largest non-publicly funded editorial project on climate change ever undertaken.
