Most articles in the special issue had their origins in a virtual symposium, "“Weathering Extremes: African Environmental Politics” (May 2021), sponsored by the International Sociological Association’s Research Committee on Environment and Society (RC24), and hosted by the Program for Advancement of Research on Conflict and Collaboration (PARCC), at Syracuse University's Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, in Syracuse, New York.
