Dr. Johannes M. Luetz (BA/USA, MBA/Germany, Ph.D./Australia) is a social scientist based in Brisbane, Australia. He also holds appointments at The University of the Sunshine Coast (USC Maroochydore) and at Alphacrucis University College (AC Brisbane), where he is Associate Professor and Director of Research Development. He has lived and worked across countries and continents and conducts interdisciplinary humanitarian research at the science-faith science-policy interface. He has consulted for World Vision on research raising awareness of the growing effects of climate change on vulnerable communities in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. His integrative research has led to several authored and edited books, including Beyond Belief—Opportunities for Faith-Engaged Approaches to Climate-Change Adaptation in the Pacific Islands (Springer, 2021), Innovating Christian Education Research—Multidisciplinary Perspectives (Springer, 2021), Reimagining Christian Education—Cultivating Transformative Approaches (Springer, 2018), and Planet Prepare (WVI, 2008).

His Ph.D. research into climate migration has featured in national news and documentaries [Bolivia; Bangladesh; Maldives]. He has spoken at the UNSW Town & Gown annual signature dinner and has been a guest on ABC Radio National The Science Show. His research has attracted grants, prizes, scholarships, awards and distinctions, including best thesis prize (2006), UNSW UIP Award (2009), UNSW ASPIRE Award (2012) and best paper awards (2017, 2018).

International research highlights include involvement as author and Section Editor on Quality Education—Encyclopedia of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (Springer, 2020), the largest editorial project on sustainable development ever undertaken, and the world’s most comprehensive publication on the United Nations SDGs. Recently he served as an editor on the Major Reference Work Handbook on Climate Change Management—Research, Leadership, Transformation (Springer, 2021). With 228 chapters and 600+ authors, and spread over a set of 6 volumes, the “Handbook” is the largest non-publicly funded editorial project on climate change adaptation ever produced. It was launched at the UN Climate Change Conference COP26 in Glasgow in November 2021. Dr Luetz is Deputy Editor International Journal of Climate Change Strategies and Management (Emerald, Q1) and serves on the editorial boards of international peer reviewed journals Discover Sustainability (Springer Nature, OA), Christian Higher Education (Routledge Taylor & Francis, Q1), and Humanities & Social Sciences Communications (nature portfolio, OA).
