Published by Earthscan in partnership with the Global Change System for Analysis, Research and Training (START), and supported by the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA), Climate and Development is the first academic journal dedicated to the range of issues that arise when climate variability, climate change and climate policy are considered along with development needs, impacts and priorities.

It aims to make complex analysis of climate and development issues accessible to a wide audience of researchers, policymakers and practitioners, and to facilitate debate between the diverse constituencies active in these fields throughout the world.

The journal provides a forum to communicate research, review and discussion on the interfaces between climate, development, policy and practice. It presents conceptual policy-analytical and empirical studies of the interactions between climate impacts, adaptation, mitigation and development on scales from the local to the global.

Topics are to include: Policy frameworks Combined impacts of climate change and non-climatic stresses Links between development and planning Climate and long-term weather forecasting Integration of climate policy into planning and development policy Financing arrangements for adaptation in developing countries Economic effects of climate risks on developing countries Adaptation and mitigation the poor.
