We are delighted to invite you to the 2022 Toronto Conference on Earth System Governance, to be held in Toronto, Canada and accessible virtually. Today we launch the Call for Papers.
This year’s conference theme is: Governing accelerated transitions: justice, creativity, and power in a transforming world.
The 2022 Toronto Conference is hosted by University of Toronto, the University of Waterloo and Earth System Governance Project. As organizers, we understand that on-site participation is desired by many within the Earth System Governance community, but possibilities for attendance may be limited by the ongoing uncertainty related to travel or public health concerns. Therefore, the 2022 Toronto Conference on Earth System Governance will be planned for on-site attendance, with potential opportunities for virtual access and paper presentations.
The 2022 Toronto Conference stands in a long tradition of global conferences on earth system governance, from Amsterdam (2007 and 2009) to Colorado (2011), Lund (2012), Tokyo (2013), Norwich (2014), Canberra (2015), Nairobi (2016), Lund (2017), Utrecht (2018), Oaxaca (2019), Virtual Forum (2020), Bratislava (2021).
Key Dates:
- Deadline for paper and full session abstracts: 15 February, 2022
- Deadline for Innovative Sessions: 15 February, 2022
- Notification of acceptance: 31 March, 2022

Field Trips
The conference will offer field trips in the greater Toronto area. More information will be announced soon at the conference website.
Additional information
The organizers are undertaking all efforts to secure travel support for participants who are based at institutions in developing countries and for early-career researchers. To the extent that travel funds are available, they will be disbursed on merit basis according to the relative ranking of the abstract. Acceptance of a paper for presentation does not guarantee travel support.
Details on abstract submission and answers to frequently asked questions are available at our conference website www.earthsystemgovernance.org/2022toronto
