Open calls for papers and series

Planetary Health

Cities and urbanised areas drive planetary change and also threaten planetary health, however, they can deliver solutions to these environmental crises they have helped to create. This thematic series on planetary health aims to publish research addressing central framing questions on these crises in climate, biodiversity and water, that threaten planetary health.

This series seeks submissions grounded in the urban lens and positioning cities as the primary locus where planetary health challenges and solutions converge.

Please read the full call for papers for further information including how to submit.
