In conjunction with publishers Taylor & Francis, Climate Strategies supports the editorial development of the Climate Policy Journal (CPJ) – a leading publication with research, analysis, review and discussion of responses to climate change.
The journal aims to make complex, policy-related analysis of climate change issues accessible to a wide audience and to facilitate debate between diverse constituencies. For the current issue, please click here.

Past News
CPJ had a collection of free to access papers that coincided with the climate change negotiations in Bonn (May 2018):
Focus on Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) Under the Paris Agreement
Together, these papers go beyond the headlines to explore what lies behind particular NDCs – what they mean in practice, on the ground – and what commitments we might expect from countries in the future, as they seek to balance competing domestic forces and interests.
