Navigating a Climate-Changed World
2026-01-26
The Global Environmental Politics journal community knows a lot about the challenges that humanity faces, but we are living through them as well, making choices as experts, teachers, and humans as climate change and other environmental crises unfold. This Forum explores how a group of climate social scientists are navigating a climate-changed world with two goals in mind. The first is to spark discussion and reflection about our scholarly and personal practices in ways that can make our community stronger and healthier. The second is broader: I suggest that by widely sharing our knowledge of transformative dynamics and, as important, personal stories of how we navigate hope and despair from a position of expertise and lived experience, our community can contribute to broader conversations about how humanity meets the challenge of climate change.
