Call for papers – 2nd International Conference on Climate Leadership
Climate leadership is increasingly recognised as a cornerstone of the global response to the escalating climate crisis. As nations, industries, cities, and communities confront the profound challenges of climate change, the need for visionary, science-based, and action-oriented leadership has never been more urgent. Effective climate leadership can catalyse ambitious policy innovation, accelerate technology deployment, mobilise finance at scale, and foster inclusive pathways toward carbon neutrality and climate-resilient development.
Building on the success of the inaugural event, the 2nd International Conference on Climate Leadership will be held on 18-20 July 2026 in Harbin, China. The conference will bring together scholars, policymakers, and industry practitioners from around the world to share cutting-edge research, practical insights, and emerging solutions. It aims to serve as a dynamic platform for interdisciplinary dialogue and collaborative learning, advancing our collective understanding of how climate leadership can be exercised effectively across different sectors, governance levels, and socio-economic contexts.
We invite high-quality submissions that advance theoretical, empirical, or policy debates related to climate leadership. Contributions from diverse disciplines—including economics, environmental studies, public policy, engineering, management, sociology, climate science, and related fields—are warmly welcomed.
