Dear colleagues, kindly allow me to remind you that the call for papers for the 2016 Berlin Conference on Global Environmental Change: Transformative Global Climate Governance "après Paris"on 23-24 May 2016 is still open.
Abstracts may still be submitted through the conference website until 16 November 2015. We especially invite papers on these overarching conference themes: 1. Transformation: pursuit of strategies to realize sustainable development globally, by going beyond "greening" business as usual and by a corresponding redistribution of relevant resources; 2. Global Justice: provision of fairness and equity across temporal and spatial dimensions, particularly regarding greenhouse gas emissions, natural resources and finance; 3. Coherence: understanding and managing trade-offs between climate policy, sustainable development, economic policies, transformative dynamics and the accompanying institutional complexities; 4. Multilevel Capacity: harnessing global, transnational, regional, national and subnational capacities and contributions to avoid unmanageable global warming (i.e. mitigation) as well as responses to unavoidable climate change impacts (i.e. adaptation; loss & damage). 5. Framing: identifying risks and opportunities for linking frameworks, discourses and institutions of climate governance with other global issues such as security, migration, trade, food security or land use. Keynote speakers will include inter alia: Robert O. Keohane, Woodrow Wilson School, Princeton University Saleemul Huq, International Centre for Climate Change and Development (ICCCAD) & International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) Frank W.
