# Nature Climate Change (nature-climate-change)
## Journal positioning
Nature Climate Change publishes research that advances understanding of the physical science, impacts, mitigation, adaptation, and policy dimensions of climate change — and is unique among Nature-portfolio journals in intentionally bridging natural science and social science under one editorial identity. A paper on climate model projections and a paper on farmer adaptation behavior both belong here if they are methodologically rigorous and have significance for understanding or responding to the climate challenge. The readership includes climate physicists, ecologists, economists, political scientists, and policymakers, so significance must be legible across this range. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the Nature Portfolio site.
## When to trigger
- The author names Nature Climate Change as the target venue for a high-significance climate science or climate-impacts manuscript.
- A manuscript addresses the physical science, biological impacts, human vulnerability, mitigation pathways, or governance of climate change with broad, clearly communicated significance.
- The author is choosing between Nature Climate Change, Nature Geoscience, and Nature Sustainability and needs to understand scope boundaries.
- The author needs Nature Climate Change's desk-reject heuristics and credible re-routing options.
