Call for Papers are invited at Climate Change Conference to be held at University of WA, Seattle, WA, from July 12 to 13, 2012.
This year’s conference theme focuses on local and regional responses to global issues of climate change and impact. This interdisciplinary conference is being conducted for scholars, teachers and practitioners from any professional discipline who share an interest in-and concern for-the societal impacts of climate change.
Proposals are invited that address this theme through one of the following categories:
- Scientific Evidence: What are our sources of evidence for global, regional, and local climate impacts? What methods and resources do we use that can be shared with others to help them construct knowledge useful to their regions and communities?
- Ecosystem Impacts: How are specific ecosystems being managed to reduce or divert the impact of global or regional climate change effects? What lessons can be learned from studies of successful and unsuccessful interventions?
- Human Impacts: How do we conceptualize the dual roles of humans as agents of climate change and as victims of climate change impacts? What are the results of climate change in developed and developing worlds? In agricultural and urban communities? Across different types of geological, political, and social environments?
- Framing Responses: What initiatives, resource management and educational strategies can we design to address the environmental, human, and societal impacts of climate change? What roles do politics and government policy play at the local, regional, international, and global levels? How can we predict and prepare for the social, political, and legal ramifications of new initiatives?
Proposals for paper presentations, workshops, posters/exhibits, or colloquia are invited.
The deadline for the next round in the call for papers (a title and short abstract) is 07 February 2012.
