The Justice Nexus: Contemporary Human Rights, Sustainability, and Climate Action Debates

This collection seeks to critically explore the interconnectedness of human rights, sustainability, and climate action, emphasising how aligning these domains can lead to more just, equitable, and inclusive outcomes—particularly for communities most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. In the context of intensifying environmental crises and global inequality, the volume will offer a platform for interdisciplinary contributions from scholars, practitioners, and policymakers.

Submissions should examine how climate-related policies and sustainable development efforts can be harmonized with human rights frameworks, and how this integration can guide inclusive and rights-based approaches to governance, resilience, and environmental justice.

The collection aims to bridge theory and practice by offering actionable recommendations and policy-relevant insights for ensuring that climate action and sustainable development are grounded in human rights principles.

Submission Guidelines:

  • Abstract deadline: May 20, 2025
  • Full chapter submission: August 20, 2025
  • Abstract length: 250–300 words
  • Details to include: Author name(s), institutional affiliation, email address, and a short bio (100 words).

Submissions and inquiries should be sent to: csdetcc@beds.ac.uk

We welcome contributions from both emerging and established voices working at the intersection of human rights, climate policy, and sustainable development. Be part of a timely and critical publication advancing global discourse on climate justice, equity, and sustainability.
