[Geo4All] Journal of Maps - Special Issue: Mapping the UN SDGs and the European Commission’s Horizon Missions

[BERRY, Robert]

*** with apologies for cross-posting ***

Journal of Maps is actively seeking submissions which contribute to the global policy priorities represented by the European Commission’s Horizon Missions and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), for a Special Issue of the journal to be published in 2022. As discussed in a recent editorial in the journal, map-making has a vital part to play in analysing, visualizing and presenting progress towards meeting these ambitions.

We are particularly interested in contributions that use mapping innovatively to visualise global challenges or progress against the SDG and Horizon Missions targets. This is an opportunity to model creative mapping of the data available on these strategic global objectives. For example, themes could focus on aspects of:


  *   environmental, social or economic sustainability;
  *   conquering cancer;
  *   climate change;
  *   caring for soils; or
  *   restoration of our rivers or oceans.
  *   International and interdisciplinary collaborations are particularly welcome.

Research published in the Journal of Maps demonstrates a unique line of enquiry that requires the use of maps or spatial data visualisations, collects new data or adds significant value to existing data and presents and communicates findings that adhere to high cartographic standards. Journal of Maps welcomes creative contributions of 2,000–4,000 words that address both the SDGs/Horizon Missions as a whole, as well as supporting the response to these challenges at the local, national, and international scale. Maps that address all of the SDGs and Horizon Missions are welcomed, and Journal of Maps encourages a diverse approach to tackling these global challenges.

Manuscript deadline:
31 July 2021
