The mission of the JOCCD is to advance understanding of the social, economic, and environmental impacts of climate change on communities, and to promote the development of effective strategies for adaptation and mitigation. The journal is committed to publishing high-quality, interdisciplinary research that is relevant to both theory and practice.

Scope

The JOCCD covers a wide range of topics related to climate change and community development, including:

• The impacts of climate change on communities, such as sea level rise, extreme weather events, and changes in agricultural productivity.
• The social, economic, and political factors that shape community vulnerability to climate change.
• The role of community-based adaptation and mitigation strategies in addressing climate change.
• The links between climate change and other development challenges, such as poverty, food security, and health.
• The role of gender, ethnicity, and other social inequalities in shaping vulnerability to climate change.
• The role of indigenous knowledge and traditional practices in climate adaptation.
• The ethics of climate change adaptation and mitigation.
