World Symposium on Climate Change Policies: Science and Technology in Support of Policy-Making in Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation

The main aim of the Symposium is to provide a platform for discussions on the role of science and technology in support of policy-making on climate change. In addition, the Symposium  aims to identify, document and disseminate ideas, experiences and  visions from scientists, decision-makers, educators,  members of non-governmental organisations, and citizens, on how scince and technology may contribute towards supporting the design and implementation ofclimate change policies, which is important in pursuing sustainable future scenarios.

The outcome of the discussions will be summarised, and fed in the preparations for COP 28, to be held in Dubai on 30th November to 12th December 2023.

The Symposium will gather 100 or so delegates, who specialise on aspects of policy-making and/or policy implementation on climate change. The Symposium will gather delegates interested on  aspects of policy-making and/or policy implementation on climate change.

As an output and long-term documentation of the event, selected papers will be published in the book Climate Change Policies: Science and Technology in Support of Policy-Making in Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation", which will follow on the success of the "Handbook of Climate Change Resilience" and Handbook of Climate Change Management  which, with 6 volumes and over 500 authors is the largest non-publicly funded editorial project on climate change ever undertaken.

The book will be published as part of the Climate Change Management Series, which is the leading peer-reviewed book series on matters related to climate change  Over 3.000 authors from across all geographical regions  have contributed to the series to date. The peer-reviewed nature of the series, which is fully indexed, means that publications have counted over the years for promotion and tenure purposes.

We are now calling for abstracts, which consist of a 200 words outline of the paper, along with the names and full contact details of the authors. Abstracts should be sent to the coordinating team at: info (at) iccip (dot) net

The deadline for submission of abstracts is is 30th May 2023. Full papers are due by 30th August 2023. Further details will be discussed with the authors whose abstracts have been accepted.
