To foster content-driven communication and discussions centered around climate resilience, we encourage members to share their publications within this group. Kindly submit the details of your own or others' publications to the group assistant at klima.r...@gmail.com, who will consolidate and distribute them 2 or 3 times per month. In order to reduce email loads considering the group's extensive global membership of over 2300 participants, we kindly request you not to post publications individually.

The posting of publications lies on relevance and quality rather than quantity. Only selected publications meeting the following five criteria will be included in the postings:

1. The topic must directly relate to climate resilience.
2. The title must incorporate the term resilience, resiliency, or resilient.
3. It must be a scientific research publication in peer-reviewed journals, monograph, or edited book volume.
4. The publication must be published within the last 3 years and in English.
5. Information must include the full names of all authors, and a webpage link. 

Call for Papers

Island Studies Journal special section CfP: ‘Climate change, island change, and wellbeing in small island communities’. 

This special section invites papers with ethnographic examples and primary research covering the following aspects:

• Local understandings of mental health and wellbeing, and whether/how they are impacted by the climate crisis and the ways islanders respond to changing circumstances.
• Access to mental health services and service gaps that should be addressed so small island populations can address impacts of climate change and other forms of environmental change.
• How preconceptions of remoteness and isolation, vulnerability, sustainability and resilience are challenged by the circumstances created by the climate crisis locally, and their impacts on mental health and wellbeing.
• The role of climate change in conceptualisations of the future on/of small islands, feelings of uncertainty, and their impact on islanders’ mental health and wellbeing.
• How researcher mental health and wellbeing is affected while doing research on small islands impacted by the climate crisis, including coping mechanisms and research strategies.

Interested authors are asked to send first drafts of their papers to the guest editors (Eleni and Robin) by the deadline of 30 November 2026 at the latest, using ‘Special Section on Wellbeing’ as the subject of the e-mail. Please do follow the ISJ's guidelines for authors when preparing your drafts: https://islandstudiesjournal.org/for-authors. 

You can find the full call for papers, including further details and timelines, on the ISJ website: https://islandstudiesjournal.org/post/3940-special-section-call-for-papers-climate-change-island-change-and-wellbeing-in-small-island-communities
