Just learned that Nature Publishing Group (NPG) will launch a new primary research journal, Nature Climate Change, in October 2009. Climate change is a key issue and there is a need to bring together scientific observation and models with an understanding of how human society affects climate change, and vice versa. A first for a Nature-branded journal, Nature Climate Change will extend into socio-economic research as well as the natural sciences, with the aim of putting the research it publishes into a wider scientific, economic and political context. Nature Climate Change will be the newest journal in the portfolio of physical sciences titles launched by NPG over the past five years. NPG is currently recruiting for a Chief Editor for Nature Climate Change and is expected to announce further information about the journal before the end of the year.
