I edited a special issue of the Journal of Electronic Publishing on Publishing and Climate Justice, which also includes an article I wrote: “Strategies for Climate Justice in the Academic Publishing Industry: From Pledges to Direct Action”.
This important collection captures urgent and critical research that starts to outline the challenges the climate emergency poses to the publishing sector. The issue asks: What is the role and responsibility of the publishing industry in tackling climate change? The contributions to this issue all share a desire to further the dialogue about climate (in)justice in scholarly publishing, highlighting the paucity of research on this topic. But they also offer real examples of ways in which scholars, publishers, libraries, universities, and infrastructure providers can start to make meaningful change in this context.
