NVSQ Symposium on Climate Change and the Voluntary Sector

[Aseem Prakash]

Colleagues:

As co-guest editors, we are pleased to announce the online publication of the Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Quarterly Symposium on Climate Change and the Voluntary Sector. This symposium project began with a call for papers for an online conference on “Climate

Change and the Voluntary Sector." We issued a call for papers in December 2020 and received

34 submissions from scholars located in 12 countries. We short-listed 20 for the online conference in August 2021.  After the conference, the guest editors identified 10 papers for submission to the journal. Following the standard peer review process, we conferred with the NVSQ editors to select five manuscripts for inclusion in this symposium. We are delighted to present these articles below.
