This SI focuses on exploring Equity, Justice, & Inclusion (EJI)-related challenges and opportunities in the context of climate change and the sustainable development nexus. The SI seeks contributions from developed and developing economies, such as case studies, sector studies, policy analysis, and national and international comparative studies. All types of papers will be considered: empirical, systematic reviews and theoretical papers based on mixed methods, qualitative, or quantitative methodological approaches. Country, regional, and organisational case studies and comparative analyses are welcome. In particular, we welcome submissions from scholars in emerging economies and those countries facing substantive risks from climate change and climate inaction. We welcome submissions on the following topics (but not limited to):
- Climate action workforce, e.g. ESG skills
- EJI features of the green economy
- EJI for sustainable development
- Firm-level HRM responses to climate change
- Global, national, and local policies and programs that support climate change adoption and mitigation
- Inclusive policies and strategies for promoting equity and inclusion in climate action
- Labour migration and climate change
