Innovative Approaches to Climate Action from Public Health and Business Management

This special feature invites innovative approaches to act on climate change borrowing from well-established fields such as public health and business management. To implement concrete actions, action-oriented research requires advanced and sophisticated approaches to prevent unintended consequences and generate co-benefits. This issue draws from public health and business management well known for translating research into actionable information and useful interventions. Innovative tools and best practices borrowed from these fields will be vital for the successful implementation of climate action. The special feature will demonstrate proven and feasible approaches that can be transferred from public health and business management to the practice of climate action.

Research Topics making use of expertise and know-how in public health and business management. Preference will be given towards the expertise/know-how that are established but not yet applied to climate change issues.

· Types of intervention programs suitable for climate action
· Methods for translating research into action
· Detailed case studies we can learn from and apply to climate action
· Education (Executive courses, continuing education, courses in partnership with the community, local government, and other)
· Strategies to overcome barriers such as funding shortage, political resistance, apathetic sentiments, inadequate infrastructure, and so forth
· Implementation and evaluation of public health or corporation actions transferrable to climate action.
