Climate Policy is an interdisciplinary journal, and actively encourages submissions from all academic fields. A central requirement is that papers must be written in a language and style that avoids jargon, and is therefore accessible to academics from other fields as well as to policy practitioners and policymakers. Technical content can be included in online supplementary material.

Perspective articles offer rigorous insights and commentary, often from senior policymakers (3,000 words)
