Current Issue

“Climateโ€”Change is Inevitable” is the theme of the twenty-first edition of the Georgetown Journal of International Affairs. This issue addresses humanityโ€™s most consequential challenge the way few countries or decision-makers have been willing to: head-on, with the hope of confronting the threat in pursuit of a better world. With insights from practitioners, experts, and academics from around the globe, this edition provides a full and robust picture of the intersecting impacts of climate change and insights on how we must respondโ€”from business to security to culture and beyond.
