Sustainability Science probes interactions between global, social, and human systems, the complex mechanisms that lead to degradation of these systems, and concomitant risks to human well-being. The journal provides a platform for building sustainability science as a new academic discipline which can point the way to a sustainable global society by facing challenges that existing disciplines have not addressed. These include endeavors to simultaneously understand phenomena and solve problems, uncertainty and application of the precautionary principle, the co-evolution of knowledge and recognition of problems, and trade-offs between global and local problem solving. The journal promotes science-based predictions and impact assessments of global change, and seeks ways to ensure that these can be understood and accepted by society. Sustainability Science creates a transdisciplinary academic structure and discovery process that fuses the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities.
Sustainability Science and Technology is an interdisciplinary, open access journal dedicated to advances in science, technology, and engineering that can contribute to a more sustainable planet. It focuses on breakthroughs in all science and engineering disciplines that address one or more of the three sustainability pillars: environmental, social and/or economic.
sustainable chemistry, sustainable engineering, green chemistry
Sustainable Chemistry One World is a peer-reviewed, inclusive journal that publishes articles in chemistry, chemical engineering, environmental science and materials science with a clear focus on sustainability.
The scope of the journal includes sustainable chemistry articles related to all the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and, more specifically, the following areas:
Contaminants in water and on land
Waste reduction, use of safer chemicals
Wastewater treatment
Carbon and nitrogen cycle
Microplastics/nanoplastics, electronic wastes
Metrics in Sustainability
Green solvents - Safe reagents and chemicals - Sustainable organic synthesis
Catalytic processes (homogeneous, heterogeneous and bio-catalysis)
Waste recycle and valorization - Circular economy
CO2 capture and utilization
Pollution prevention and remediation
Toxicology and Ecotoxicology of Chemicals and Products
Renewable energy sources (wind, solar)
Life-cycle assessment and end of life of products
These areas encompass a wide range of topics that address the urgent need for sustainable practices in the fields of chemistry and related sciences. By promoting research in these areas, Sustainable Chemistry One World aims to contribute to a more environmentally conscious and responsible global scientific community.
Papers must be scientifically valid and technically sound in methodology and analysis of presented results. The importance, significance or impact of accepted papers will be estimated by scientific community after publication.
All manuscripts must be written so as to be widely accessible and understandable to interdisciplinary and trans disciplinary oriented readers without neglecting the disciplinary excellence and clearness.
Letters to the editor and discussion papers are welcome in order to provide a forum for discussions on a high scientific level. Additionally, a news section provides an interesting variety of news, facts, forthcoming events and conferences as well as book reviews.
