《氣候與發(fā)展》是第一本專門研究氣候變化、氣候變化和氣候政策以及發(fā)展需求、影響和優(yōu)先事項(xiàng)所引發(fā)的一系列問題的學(xué)術(shù)期刊。它使氣候和發(fā)展問題的復(fù)雜分析為廣大研究人員、決策者和實(shí)踐者所了解，并促進(jìn)在世界各地這些領(lǐng)域活躍的不同群體之間的辯論。該雜志提供了一個論壇，就氣候、發(fā)展、政策和實(shí)踐之間的接口進(jìn)行研究、審查和討論。它提出了從地方到全球范圍內(nèi)氣候影響、減緩、適應(yīng)和發(fā)展之間相互作用的概念、政策分析和經(jīng)驗(yàn)研究。特別鼓勵發(fā)展中國家和關(guān)于發(fā)展中國家的貢獻(xiàn);然而，如果氣候與發(fā)展之間的聯(lián)系是中心主題，那么對發(fā)達(dá)國家的研究是受歡迎的。氣候與發(fā)展與學(xué)術(shù)界、政策分析人士、顧問、談判代表、工業(yè)組織和非政府組織，以及所有致力于確保更好地理解氣候與發(fā)展之間關(guān)系的組織，都有著直接和至關(guān)重要的關(guān)系。

Climate and Development is the first academic journal dedicated to the range of issues that arise when climate variability, climate change and climate policy are considered along with development needs, impacts and priorities. It makes complex analysis of climate and development issues accessible to a wide audience of researchers, policymakers and practitioners, and facilitates debate between the diverse constituencies active in these fields throughout the world.The journal provides a forum to communicate research, review and discussion on the interfaces between climate, development, policy and practice. It presents conceptual, policy-analytical and empirical studies of the interactions between climate impacts, mitigation, adaptation and development on scales from the local to global. Contributions from and about developing countries are particularly encouraged; however, research on developed countries is welcome provided that the link between climate and development is the central theme.Climate and Development is of direct and vital relevance to academics, policy analysts, consultants, negotiators, industrial and non-governmental organisations, and to all those working to ensure a better understanding of the links between climate and development.
