Topical Collection on Ecovillages and other Community-led Initiatives as Experiences of Climate Action
Climate Action invites submission of papers for the topical collection on Ecovillages and other Community-led Initiatives as experiences of climate action.
Extended abstract deadline: 30.11.2022
Full paper submission deadline: 28.02.2023
We look for papers about ecovillages as pragmatic examples of bottom up initiatives for climate action all over the world.
The focus of this topical collection is on community-led experiences of (trans)local climate action that address local, regional and global issues. It includes all grassroots initiatives that seek to create and diffuse sustainable lifestyles and appropriate regenerative technologies. This topical collection will compile the most recent research on ecovillages and other community-led initiatives in different areas of knowledge and in different contexts, from the Global North and South. The goal is to reflect on the potential of community-led initiatives for transformative climate action.
The submissions are now open. We expect an extended abstract until the 30.11.2022 and the final paper submission on 28.02.2022
