Climate Policy Welcomes Navroz K. Dubash and Yacob Mulugetta as Editors-in-Chief

Climate Policy is delighted to announce that from January 2024, the new editors-in-chief (EiCs) will be Navroz K. Dubash and Yacob Mulugetta. After seven years, Frank Jotzo and Harald Winkler will be stepping down as EiCs at the end of 2023. Their final editorial is available online, and features a reflection on polycrisis yet opportunities for systems transformations.

Dubash is a Senior Fellow at the Sustainable Futures Collaborative in India and Adjunct Senior Visiting Fellow at the LKY School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore. For the past 14 years, he has been Professor at the Centre for Policy Research. Dubash was Coordinating Lead Author of the chapter on National Policies and Institutions for IPCC AR6 and member of the Core Writing Team of the IPCC Synthesis Report for AR5. He brings more than 25 years of experience as a scholar, policy adviser, and climate activist to Climate Policy.

Mulugetta is a Professor in the Department of Science, Technology, Engineering and Public Policy at University College London (UCL). Between 2010 and 2013, Mulugetta was based at the UN Economic Commission for Africa in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia where he helped set up the African Climate Policy Centre (ACPC). He was also Coordinating Lead Author of the chapter on Energy Systems of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) Fifth Assessment Report (Working Group III on Mitigation) and a member of the Core Writing Team of the IPCC Synthesis Report.

Climate Policy is deeply grateful to Frank Jotzo and Harald Winkler for their years of leadership and hard work. We look forward to working with Navroz Dubash and Yacob Mulugetta and welcoming them to the journal in the new year.
