The editorial team of Environmental Politics would like to help editors and scholars in the global North to build sustained relationships and explore potential collaborations that center global South scholars, their perspectives, and their expertise. Importantly, we seek to foster mutually respectful engagements, without this list becoming a source of additional burden for global South scholars.
In order to do this, we would like to create a virtual network for global South scholars and experts, including practitioners in the field of environmental politics, environmental policy, and environmental studies, broadly understood. In conceptualizing this endeavor, we build on similar recent initiatives, e.g., Climate Reframe that seeks to amplify BAME [Black, Asian and minority ethnic] voices in UK environmental movement (https://climatereframe.co.uk/), and the U.S.-based Donors of Color Network that has created a similar space for BIPOC [Black, Indigenous, and People of Color] Climate and Energy Justice PhDs (https://climate.donorsofcolor.org/bipoc-climate-and-energy-justice-phds/).
We plan to host this global South EP Scholars’ resource hub on EP webpage https://environmentalpoliticsjournal.net/, which the editorial board runs autonomously. However, we also welcome opportunities for collaborating on this with other journals or professional associations. If such collaborations materialize, we will be open to hosting this resource on another public platform.
We would be grateful for your help in creating this community resource. Please use the following Google form to nominate colleagues, including graduate students and early career researchers, especially those based in global South institutions. We encourage self-nominations. https://forms.gle/dDnrnHhyMz31sbuq8
Best wishes,
Prakash (On behalf of the EP editorial board).

My name is Amjad Ali Khan from Swat Pakistan. Currently working as a lecturer at the department of Political Science Hazara University Mansehra. I intend to do my PhD on the question of the politics of climate change as my hometown is one of the most affected region by climate change, and most of the people here are climate change denier and have no idea of this important issue surrounding us, so through this platform i want to connect with scholars and expert on this question of politics of climate change and start my research work in the context of my region, so the i can produce research work which will be beneficial for our society regarding this important matter.
