The geographic perspective on climate change mitigation is essential for understanding the spatial variability of climate impacts, optimizing resource distribution, assessing vulnerability, guiding spatial planning, and promoting international collaboration. By embracing the geographical dimension of climate change mitigation, we can encourage a harmonious coexistence between humanity and the planet.

There is a link between geography and solutions for climate. Geography provides a framework for understanding and addressing various challenges and finding solutions in different contexts. Geography plays a crucial role in understanding the spatial dimensions of problems and developing context-specific solutions. By considering geographic factors, we can address challenges in resource management, environmental planning, disaster risk reduction, climate change adaptation, spatial planning, and international collaboration.

Geographical factors can influence the effectiveness of solutions in various contexts. They can influence the effectiveness of solutions by shaping resource distribution, vulnerability and risk assessment, cultural and socio-economic context, infrastructure and accessibility, and opportunities for international collaboration. Considering these factors helps tailor solutions to specific geographic contexts, increasing their relevance, acceptance, and impact.

That is why IEREK is hosting the second edition of its “Geographic Perspectives on Climate Change Mitigation in Urban and Rural Environments” conference. Keeping the geographic perspective in mind while fending for solutions to mitigate climate change in urban and rural environments is of great importance, and the conference aims to press further on that idea.

Conference Scope

The conference will focus on understanding the role of geography in spatial analysis, planning, and the implementation of climate change mitigation measures. It will address the unique challenges and opportunities for climate change mitigation in both urban and rural settings, including sustainable urban planning, green infrastructure development, energy-efficient buildings, low-carbon transportation systems, agricultural practices, forestry, and land management. The conference will also examine the vulnerability of urban and rural environments to climate change impacts and the importance of community engagement, and participation in supporting effective climate change mitigation efforts. Overall, the conference aims to promote interdisciplinary discussions, knowledge exchange, and the identification of innovative solutions that use geographic perspectives to address the complex challenges of climate change mitigation in diverse geographic contexts.

Statement of Purpose

Held in collaboration with the university of Tor Vergata, Rome, a pioneer in the field, the aim of the conference "Geographic Perspectives on Climate Change Mitigation for Urban and Rural Environments" is to bring together researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and stakeholders to explore the intersection of geography and climate change mitigation strategies. It will focus on understanding the role of geography in spatial analysis, planning, and the implementation of climate change mitigation measures in both urban and rural settings. By bringing together experts from various fields, the conference aims to advance understanding, share best practices, and promote effective climate change mitigation strategies in urban and rural environments.

• After abstract acceptance, you may be given the option to extend the abstract to publish your work in the conference proceedings in ASTI published by Springer Nature (indexed in Scopus/SCImago) (optional not obligatory).

  This is not a prerequisite for presenting your work at the conference. Meaning, you can present your submitted abstract without intending to publish your work.

Step 2.2: Abstract Extension / Short Paper (Optional)

• Your short paper / extended abstract should be 4 – 6 pages long and submitted before the paper submission deadline, in English, and fit within one of the conference topics.
• The Extended abstract i.e., the short paper should follow the research paper structure as follows: Abstract (+keywords), Introduction, problem statement, and study aim, Review of the Literature, Methodology, results and conclusion/ discussion, References list using the Paper Writing Template.
• The submission (short paper i.e. extended abstract) should be made following the same procedure followed for the abstract or sent to the conference email.
• Here: Authors may need more pages than the allotted maximum of 6 to insert figures, tables, appendixes, etc. In this case, they can submit regular papers (max. 12 pages) with the same fixed fee. For a detailed outline of the fees, please refer to the payment table in the conference fees tab.
• The conference does welcome Arabic submissions (with abstracts written in the english language), which will only be considered for publication in BAHETH by IEREK Press.

Step 3: Rigorous Peer Review Process (double-blind)

This process can only be initiated after payment completion and confirmation:

• If submitted, the extension (short paper) will be preliminarily checked (iThenticate plagiarism/ similarity screening Software, readability, and scope) and it will be peer-reviewed. If similarity issues are detected, the following will apply:
  • % from all sources: 10-15%
  • % from one source: 3-5%
  • Higher than 30% (all sources): Reject completely
  • Lower than 30% (all sources): Ask for revision to decrease the similarities
• IEREK has an unyielding policy regarding plagiarism. We believe that copying/ taking the ideas and work of other Authors without permission and credit is fraudulent. The Reviewing committee and IEREK employees have the authority to reject a paper during its reviewing process, on the basis of the paper being subjected to either minor or major plagiarism.
• Each paper/ chapter is evaluated by a minimum of two reviewers, after which a final decision by the responsible Editor is made. There is no maximum to the number of times a paper can be reviewed, depending on the quality of the submission.
• If your short paper is accepted by the Editors for publishing with comments/ requested modifications, our Editors (publishing department) will contact you once a decision is made and you will be asked to revise and correct it. After resubmission, it will be re-checked. Note: There may be more than one round of peer review and the decision rests with the editors of the title. Missed deadlines may result in complete exclusion/ rejection from the final publication.
• If your short paper is accepted for publishing without edits/ comments, the corresponding author will be contacted to provide the final version of their chapters/ papers following Springer Guidelines and sign the Springer consent-to-publish (CTP) form to authorize publication in the conference proceedings.
• A back-and-forth process: modifications will be sent back to the responsible Editor/ Series Editor and another round of evaluation conducted where needed. Participants/ Authors should regularly check their emails (Junk/ Spam folders).
• If you are not interested in publishing an extended abstract in the proceedings in ASTI by Springer Nature, please inform the conference support ([email protected]).

Step 4: Extended paper 

• After the conference, the authors of the best papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their research, 8 – 12+ pages in length, (optional) of their short papers for publishing in an edited volume to be published by Springer Nature.
• Publishing your short paper (i.e., extended abstract) in the conference proceedings does not prevent the submission of the full version for publishing consideration after the conference if the similarity percentages (SR%) in Step 3 are taken into account.

All accepted submissions to the conference, after a rigorous double-blinded peer-review process by the respective and a highly-extinguished Editorial Board, will be published in one of the following:

Rome stands as one of the finest and oldest cities in the world. The history of Rome spans over 2500 years and it has been a centre of power, politics, culture and development since its inception. Creation of the city is steeped in legend and mythology and there are various different accounts of how this majestic place was built. Various Roman emperors and Casers have ruled mighty Rome and this is the place where the colossal Roman Empire grew from.

The following are some suggestions of places to visit while you are in Rome, Italy.

1. Colosseum

This mighty structure is one of the most renowned and iconic landmarks in the world and a trip to Rome would not be complete without visiting the Colosseum.

Also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre, the Colosseum was constructed between 70-80 AD and at its peak was estimated to hold 80,000 spectators.

2. St Peter’s Square

Rome holds a small country within a country – The Vatican.

This independent state is one of the most important religious sites in the world and St. Peter’s Square is an iconic place where many significant events have taken place.

Located at the front of the Vatican state, the square is actually circular and is framed by two huge sets of colonnades – Standing on these columns are beautiful statues of various religious figures and previous popes.

3. The Pantheon

The mighty Pantheon stands as one of the best preserved ancient Roman buildings in the world and is one of Rome’s most famous attractions.

Constructed in 118 AD by emperor Hadrian, the building that stands today was actually built on the site where an earlier temple stood that was commissioned by Agrippa.

4. Trevi Fountain

There are not many other fountains in the world as lavishly decorated and sculptured as the Trevi fountain.

Constructed in 1762 by Nicola Salvi, the fountain pays tribute to the Roman God Oceanus who can be seen riding his chariot pulled by Tritons and taming several Hippocamps.
