The special issue addresses both the challenges and opportunities for more sustainable and inclusive forms of development in left-behind places, as well as the innovation and transformation strategies and policies that could promote these forms of economic development. Relevant issues include, inter alia, the following ones:
- Comparative research of green and inclusive regional development in Europe, the United States, and beyond (including the Global South),
- Green regional development and patterns of social exclusion and inclusion,
- Processes of green regional development and their tensions and contestation,
- Multi-scalar policy impacts on sustainable and inclusive regional development,
- Place-based policy approaches for green and inclusive regional development in left-behind places.
If you are interested in submitting a manuscript for the special issue, please send a 250-word abstract to Maximilian Benner (maximilian.benner@univie.ac.at). Deadline for abstract submission is 30 April 2023.
Submitters will be informed about the decision until May 31st, 2023. Full manuscripts should be submitted until September 30th, 2023 through the journal submission system https://www.editorialmanager.com/jfre/default2.aspx. All submissions will go through a blind peer-review process.

RSPP: Call for papers – Special issue on Climate Economics
Motivation
Climate change is without a doubt one of the biggest challenges of our time. It can harm the entire ecosystem, worsening the living conditions of humans and many animal species. It can increase the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, like hurricanes, floods, and drought, causing several socioeconomic impacts. It is a global event, but their impact and mitigation and adaptation actions are regional. Climate economics has a crucial role here. It can link the scientific base of climate change to the policy by estimating the socioeconomic impact of different climatic scenarios, identifying local and regional vulnerabilities, and evaluating mitigation and adaptation policies.
This call aims to mobilize publications on climate and regional development strategies and possible policy responses to climate change. We kindly invite contributions on topics related (but not limited) to:
- The cost of action and/or inaction to face climate change
- Local and regional impacts of extreme weather events
- Effects of climate change on migration and labor market
- Vulnerability assessment
- Policy evaluation
- New tools and methods for climate economics analysis
