Call for Papers: CLIMPACT- Inaugural International Conference, to be held at the University of Bari Aldo Moro on 1213 October 2026
Deadline: 15 July 2026 · 21:59
CLIMPACT Charting the Landscape of Climate Litigation Impacts: An Interdisciplinary Framework and Open Access Database — invites submissions for its inaugural international conference, to be held at the University of Bari Aldo Moro on 1213 October 2026.
Climate litigation has become one of the most consequential instruments of contemporary climate governance. With cases now numbering in the thousands across every continent, litigation is reshaping regulatory frameworks, public discourse, and the boundaries of legal accountability for climate harm. Yet scholarship has not kept pace with this development in one critical respect: we still know remarkably little about whether, how, and under what conditions litigation actually produces measurable change beyond the courtroom.
Submission Guidelines
Submissions should include an abstract of max 600 words, accompanied by a short biographical note 150 words maximum), via Climpact Application Hub by July 15, 2026.
Please indicate which of the themes your paper primarily addresses, though papers that cut across multiple themes are welcome. Abstracts should clearly identify the research question, the methodology or analytical approach, and the expected contribution. Both established scholars and early-career researchers are strongly encouraged to apply.
Authors of selected papers will be notified by August 10, 2026. There is no registration fee. CLIMPACT will provide travel support to a number of early-career researchers (doctoral candidates, postdoctoral researchers, and untenured faculty) whose paper is selected for the conference. Support includes accommodation for the duration of the conference, arranged directly by the project, and a contribution towards travel expenses.
