Climate and Development

The leading international peer-reviewed journal on the links between climate and development

Climate and Development is published by Earthscan and the Stockholm Environment Institute in partnership with the Global Change System for Analysis, Research and Training (START). The journal is supported by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida).

“The journal Climate and Development fills a vital gap in the literature, essentially because decisions related to climate change and development would both need to be based on the nexus between these two issues. Recent research and published literature clearly reveal how the impacts of climate change affect opportunities for development. Similarly mitigation options for reducing emissions of greenhouse gases also need to be embedded within larger development strategies. The Journal, therefore, covers extremely important space, and it is inevitable that its value will be enhanced over time.”

"Interdisciplinary research is key to addressing the most pressing problems of our time – Climate and Development provides an important platform at the interface of these two crucial disciplines."
