Guide for Authors
Climate Risk Management publishes original scientific contributions, state-of-the-art reviews and reports of practical experience on all aspects of the production and use of climate and climate-related information in decision and policy making from the near- to long-term.
Therefore, the scope of the journal covers:
Historical, current, and future climate conditions across multiple space and time scales;
Risk assessment and risk management approaches for climate-sensitive sectors such as agriculture, forestry and fire management, health, mining, natural resources management, water management, the built environment, and tourism; and
Analysis of relevant institutional developments and arrangements
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
The application of seasonal forecasting and regional climate change projections;
Capacity building;
Infrastructure design;
Management and systematic reduction of climate-induced hazards and disasters;
Protection of lives, livelihoods and property;
Mitigation of environmental damage;
Sustainable resource use and production;
Impacts, vulnerability and adaptation at individual, community and institutional levels;
Regulatory risks associated with climate change; and
Climate-sensitive interactions between economic, environmental and social systems
Research papers should consider the practical application of the thesis advanced through case studies, experiments, or systematic comparisons with existing approaches. Special issues devoted to topics of particular interest will be published on an occasional basis, and proposals for such issues are invited. Submission of multi- and interdisciplinary studies, particularly those involving economics and the social sciences, is encouraged.
Article Types
Original Research: Articles up to 8,000 words (including main body text, table and figure captions but not including references), although longer articles will be accepted on an occasional basis if the topic demands this length of treatment. Research articles will be subject to full peer review.
State-of-the-Art Review: Articles up to 10,000 words (including main body text, table and figure captions but not including references) that review, and offer new insights into, the literature, theory, and/or practice associated with climate risks. These may be narrowly focused to provide insights into specific areas or problems, or more broadly integrative to identify disciplinary and inter-disciplinary trends, strengths and weaknesses of previous research and theory, and the interaction of theory and practice. State-of-the-art reviews will be subject to full peer review.Perspective: Short (no longer than 3,000 words, including main body text, table and figure captions but not including references) essays on the science, policy, and practice of climate risk management, expressing opinions and reflections by the author(s). Perspectives will be subject to expedited review by the editorial board.
Editorials: Short essays by the editorial board on issues relevant to the journal, and emerging themes in the science and pra
