We invite thinkers from all disciplines to explore our 2025-26 theme of ‘Resilience in a Fractured Future’ from a range of viewpoints, both critical and hopeful. We want to hear about the ideological and the technical, the theory and the practice, and offer our readers deeper insight into the many nuances, contradictions, and possibilities of climate change.

This section features concise writing on topics broadly related to development, climate, and sustainability.

This section highlights the unique experiences of SAIS students interning with change-making organizations around the world.

SAIS Perspectives is the student-run publication of the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) Development, Climate, and Sustainability (DCS) program. Our goal is to create a platform for sharing ideas about current issues in the field of international development, energy, environment, and climate change.

Previously, SAIS Perspectives was an annual print publication. In 2014, we launched Perspectives' new online home, www.saisperspectives.com, making the journal accessible to readers on a global scale.
