Dear GEP-ed colleagues,
Hope this email finds you well. I would like to draw your attention to the Bath Conference on Earth System Governance to be held on 8-10 September 2026. This will be one of the largest annual gatherings for environmental governance researchers and I hope many of you can join.
The next year's conference is under the theme of “Building Just and Sustainable Futures for Planetary Integrity.” It will have six streamsthe including five analytical lenses of the ESG Project (Architecture and Agency; Democracy and Power; Justice and Allocation; Anticipation and Imagination; Adaptiveness and Reflexivity) and a sixth stream on the future of earth system governance, inviting participants to explore governance gaps and reforms across scales.
The call for papers is now open until 15 January 2026. We welcome submissions of individual papers, organised panels and also innovative sessions. Please find more details on the call and how to submit on this page: https://www.earthsystemgovernance.org/2026-bath/call-for-papers/.
I look forward to seeing you in our beautiful historical city in September 2026!
Best,
