CALL FOR PAPERS AND ESSAYS FOR THE THEMATIC DOSSIER >> RESPONSE STRATEGIES IN THE FACE OF THE CLIMATE EMERGENCY
>> UPDATE AND EXTENSION OF THE CALL FOR PAPERS: RESPONSE STRATEGIES IN THE FACE OF THE CLIMATE EMERGENCY
In view of the socio-environmental tragedy that befalls Rio Grande do Sul in May 2024, the team of guest editors, in conjunction with the editors of Revista REDES, hereby announces that it is adapting the scope of the call for proposals to the climate emergency with a geographical focus on the state of Rio Grande do Sul as a whole.
In addition, we are extending the submission deadline to July 31, 2024.
The call prioritizes, in particular, the submission of essays (at least 10 pages) derived from observations and reflections on the ongoing disaster.

REDES - Revista do Desenvolvimento Regional (Qualis A1) announces the call for articles and essays for the thematic dossier RESPONSE STRATEGIES IN THE FACE OF THE CLIMATE EMERGENCY, which will be published online in volume 29 during 2024.
The aim of this thematic dossier is to disseminate knowledge and reflections based on the analysis of strategies and interventions, whether by the state, the markets or civil society organizations, in response to the climate emergency on the Brazilian coast.
This call for papers covers both articles that present the results of empirical and comparative research, as well as essays that problematize a particular subject, focused on the opinion of the authors and that present original conclusions based on empirical experience and bibliographic review.
Studies on the impacts of global warming traditionally follow the IBGE typology, distinguishing among the South, North, Northeast and Central-West regions (PBMC, 2013). This dossier aims to identify the coast as a region, a territorial unit that has a high population density, an intense process of production of private and public built heritage, as well as being home to economic agglomerations of central importance to regional economies, such as ports, warehouses and oil pipelines (MARENGO and SCARANO, 2016).
The priority given to the coast is justified by the fact that this is the region where biomes have been destroyed in the development process, whether through the occupation of mangroves or dunes, and is subject to significant impacts from global warming (ABADIE et al., 2017; 2020). The rise in relative sea level is among the most worrying and costly effects of global warming (DE ALMEIDA and MOSTAFAVI, 2016), requiring innovative, economically viable and long-lasting solutions.
Published data by the Human Climate Horizons platform ahead of COP 28, project that in this century more than 70 million people living on coastal plains could be affected by the rise in relative sea levels and the advance of storm surges (CIL, 28/11/23). The impact of rising temperatures on coastal flooding could increase the population at risk by up to five times over the course of this century, with Latin America and the Caribbean among the most vulnerable regions. In the worst-case scenario (SSP5-8.5), by the end of the century, municipalities in Guanabara Bay/RJ, and port cities such as Belém/PA, Fortaleza/CE, Santos/SP or Rio Grande/RS will be among the most affected municipalities.
The coast represents both a showcase for recording the main impacts of global warming and an open-air laboratory for climate change adaptation strategies (BRAGA and GRUBER, 2013). The perceptions of public and private managers (PEREIRA, 2013) as a reaction to the economic pressures resulting from the impacts of global warming are fundamental to interpreting decision-making processes, from early adopters to the wait and see strategy (ESTEVES et al., 2001). Despite repeated unfulfilled promises of international funds, it is the social actors at the subnational level who are making decisions and bearing the costs of adaptation (MOTA and SATO, 2019).
The questions guiding the submission of texts are: Who have been the social actors, and what are their strategies, in climate adaptation on the Brazilian coast? Are these experiences exceptions, unique cases rooted in the territory, or can they be replicated? What knowledge has been generated so far, especially through the work of universities?
The themes and issues that this thematic dossier proposes to bring together, debate and share are, among other related issues:
- Climate decision: theoretical approaches to interpreting decisions by managers.
- Elements of environmental justice.
- Work and income opportunities in climate adaptation.
- Impacts on traditional populations and their responses.
- Urban planning adaptation and the role of private initiative.
- Case studies related to the application of municipal, state or federal policies in climate mitigation and adaptation.
- The role of universities in climate adaptation.
- Federal heritage and its preservation.
- Qualifying the resilience of coastal cities.
Articles and essays can be submitted to the journal's system until July 31th, 2024, in accordance with the Guidelines for Authors, and will be subject to a preliminary desk review. Once approved, they will be submitted to blind peer review, following the journal's editorial policies.
Articles and essays approved for publication will be made available online in Portuguese and English, with translation being the responsibility of the authors and a condition of publication.
If the original text is submitted in English, the article will only be published in that language.

SECURITY DEVICE
The profusion of fake profiles forces the magazine to adopt security procedures.
Initially, authors must register in the REDES system as readers.
Once this stage has been completed, they must request to be included as an AUTHOR and/or EVALUATOR by email: jorgesc@unisc.br - informing the login and e-mail address used in the registration so that manuscripts can be sent to the respective account.
