With apologies for cross-posting,
Urban Planning (open-access journal, ISSN:
2183-7635) is currently accepting abstract proposals for a
thematic issue on Urban Planning to
Enable a 1.5°C Scenario:
Title: Urban Planning to Enable a 1.5°C Scenario
Editors: Peter Newman (Curtin University and
IPCC) and Aromar Revi (Indian Institute for Human Settlements and
IPCC)
Deadline for Abstracts: 15 October 2017
Deadline for Full Papers: 30 November 2017
Issue Release: April 2018

The Paris Agreement is a challenge for all cities to
adapt how they will plan for a world with no fossil fuels.
However, there is powerful evidence from climate scientists that
we must go beyond this agreement if we are to prevent galloping
climate change impacts. They are suggesting a limit of global
temperature rise to 1.5°C by 2040. Such a scenario will require
dramatic change that may already be underway but needs good
frameworks of planning to be enabled. How will cities help create
a 1.5°C world? What will emerging cities have to do differently?
Can the 1.5°C limit be achieved whilst reaching the Sustainable
Development Goals? How critical is the role of urban planning in
achieving such transformation?
This issue aims to build on the literature on Cities and Climate
Change contained in the Fifth Assessment Report and to produce
relevant contributions for the 2018 IPCC Special Report, Global
Warming of 1.5°C. The report focuses on the impacts of
global warming of 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels and related
GHG emission pathways, in the context of strengthening the global
response to the threat of climate change, sustainable development,
and efforts to eradicate poverty.
