CALL FOR PAPERS: FIRST ISSUE of "Culture, Climate and Change: Biocultural Systems and Livelihoods"
Holistic, system oriented exchange about climate change among peers: ============================== CALL FOR PAPERS: FIRST ISSUE View/download .PDF here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/73367551/Call-for-Papers-CCC-1st-Issue This new, open-access transdisciplinary journal Culture, Climate and Change: Biocultural Systems and Livelihoods aims to critically engage with and disseminate biocultural approaches to understanding and responding to climate change and global change processes. The journal puts into practice the ‘epistemic bridging’ that lies at the heart of indigenous peoples’ biocultural understanding of territory, community, climate and ecosystems through sharing across practice based learning, research findings and conceptual papers. A feature of this first issue will be a section on REDD and REDD+. We are particularly interested in articles that explore the relationship between the rights of forest dwelling indigenous peoples and climate change mitigation mechanisms for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD).

A new journal of biocultural systems & livelihoods:
Climate change is perhaps the biggest challenge that communities and ecosystems across the world face today. Indigenous peoples and local communities living in biodiverse and fragile ecosystems of the planet are especially vulnerable to the impacts of climate change due to their direct reliance on local, natural systems for their livelihoods, well-being and cultural expressions. Paradoxically, they also potentially hold vital knowledge, gained through co-evolutionary relationships with the natural systems that have enabled their survival and resilience. Understanding climate change, its impacts on local and global systems, and potential solutions requires touching upon concerns of how to link the social to the environmental within a framework of equity and justice. It requires dialogue across scales from the local to the global. Holistic approaches, such as indigenous and biocultural approaches offer potential avenues for understanding the challenge and building appropriate solutions.
This new, open-access transdisciplinary journal Culture, Climate and Change: Biocultural Systems and Livelihoods aims to critically engage with and disseminate biocultural approaches to understanding and responding to climate change and global change processes.
The journal puts into practice the ‘epistemic bridging’ that lies at the heart of indigenous peoples’ biocultural understanding of territory, community, climate and ecosystems through sharing across practice based learning, research findings and conceptual papers.
In light of a commitment to building epistemological bridges between different knowledge systems, the journal will use an open peer review process which aims to promote an environment of cooperation, knowledge exchange and networking between authors and reviewers of the journal community. --
