Collection 

Barriers and Pathways to Climate Action

Submission status
Open
Submission deadline

Inspired by the theme of the 2024 Annual Conference of The Eastern Sociological Society, “The Social Side of the Climate Crisis”, we invite submissions for a special collection on “Barriers and Pathways to Climate Action.” We welcome original research contributions from all social science disciplines, regardless of methodology, that focus on identifying and analyzing societal barriers and/or pathways to action on climate mitigation and adaptation. We also welcome contributions that offer commentary and reflection on action barriers and/or pathways in educational and pedagogical contexts, as well as contributions that focus on barriers and pathways to coalition building, action, and knowledge mobilization among social scientists, natural scientists, interest groups, indigenous communities and perspectives, other knowledge systems, and activist groups, broadly defined.  This collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 10, SDG 13, and SDG 17.
