Call for Paper Submissions – Thematic Dossier

The journal CIDADES announces the call for submissions to the thematic dossier “City, Climate, and Socio-Environmental Inequalities,” organized by the Brazilian Association of Climatology (ABClima).

The dossier aims to bring together contributions that critically analyze the role of urban climate in the production and intensification of socio-environmental inequalities, considering its interfaces with health, spatial planning, and climate change. It is based on the assumption that climatic processes in cities are not limited to physical phenomena, but are also expressions of social, political, and spatial dynamics that shape different levels of exposure, vulnerability, and socio-environmental risk.

The objective is to advance the understanding of the interactions between climate and urbanization in contemporary contexts, especially in light of the increasing occurrence of extreme events and their uneven impacts on populations and territories.

Submissions are particularly welcome if they engage with the following themes:

  • Urban climate, vulnerability, and territorial inequalities.
  • Extreme events, climate risks, and health impacts.
  • Urban planning, adaptation, and climate governance.
  • Methods and approaches for analyzing urban climate.

The dossier seeks to articulate different theoretical and methodological approaches, valuing robust empirical analyses, theoretical reflections, and interdisciplinary studies.

Submissions:

  • Period: May 1 to July 31, 2026
  • Each researcher may submit up to two articles as author or co-author
  • Articles must be original and follow the journal’s guidelines, available on Submissions
  • Manuscripts will be evaluated through a double-blind peer review process

Accepted languages: Portuguese, Spanish, and English

Submission: via the journal’s online system

Inquiries: revista.cidades@uffs.edu.br

The dossier is expected to contribute to advancing scientific debate and strengthening critical approaches to the relationships between climate, cities, and socio-environmental inequalities.
