Vernon Press invites book proposals for our new series on "Climate Change and Society."

For governments across the world, climate change governance is a high-priority. The 2015 Paris Climate Accord, which saw countries with seemingly irreconcilable differences unite in a shared agenda, was a global success for climate diplomacy (Dimitrov, 2016). It's hybrid approach to climate policy was heralded as fair, balanced and even 'revolutionary' (Dimitrov, 2016 and Hale, 2016). However, with the US's withdrawal from the agreement, a serious threat is being posed not only to the success of the accord but to global climate cooperation as a whole (Urpelainen & Van de Graaf, 2017). As a result, now more than ever, immediate analysis of the scientific, moral, economic and human consequences of climate change is needed. Gathering information from a variety of disciplines and perspectives including, economics, sociology, geopolitics, politics, and law, will provide the necessary framework for developing sustainable solutions that try to counteract and diffuse the impact of climate change. We invite submissions from different disciplines that address climate change. Our intention is to create a compelling series, reflecting today's challenges, problems, and solutions, as well as promoting new approaches with the aim of re-establishing Global Sustainability. Possible contributions may include the following topics (non-comprehensive list): Climate change and food security Adaptation and Mitigation Resilience Internal and external Migration, Refugees Green growth Climate Change and Disaster Management Role of Renewable Energy Sources in a Warming World Climate Change and Energy: Policies, Planning & Management Climate Change and Sustainable Development Urbanization and flood risk implications in coastal and other areas Local vs. global consumption Policy challenges in food production New cities design Sustainability Deadline for proposals: April 30th 2019 How to submit your proposal Please submit one-page monograph proposals at submissions@vernonpress.com or carolina.sanchez@vernonpress.com, including an annotated summary/motivation, a short biographical note and (if applicable) a list of similar titles.
