Aim & Scope
The Journal of Environmental Science, Sustainability, and Green Innovation (JESSGI) (3067-8366) is established to provide a robust and inclusive scholarly platform that fosters the integration of environmental research with sustainability goals and innovative practices. Our aim is to publish peer-reviewed scientific studies that address current environmental challenges while promoting ecological balance, renewable development, and policy-oriented solutions.
Environmental science is a dynamic field that intersects with technology, social science, public policy, and economics. As such, the journal is positioned to be interdisciplinary and forward-looking. It supports academic research that not only enhances our understanding of natural processes and anthropogenic impacts but also facilitates actionable change through technological innovation and policy transformation.
We welcome scientific investigations that respond to environmental concerns such as climate change, resource depletion, habitat loss, air and water pollution, and unsustainable land use. Simultaneously, we encourage the exploration of sustainable innovations such as renewable energy systems, green chemistry, environmental biotechnology, and eco-friendly materials.
Interdisciplinary Focus
The journal invites contributions from a diverse range of disciplines and subfields. Our content integrates the natural sciences with social science perspectives and practical applications. JESSGI encourages submissions that span one or more of the following disciplines:
- Environmental science and engineering
- Climate systems and meteorology
- Sustainable resource management
- Conservation biology
- Energy studies and green technology
- Waste and pollution control
- Environmental chemistry and toxicology
- Environmental policy, planning, and law
- Environmental economics and sustainability metrics
- Agriculture and food systems
- Urban and regional planning
- Public health and environmental risk
- Hydrology and water systems
This interdisciplinary scope reflects the interconnected nature of the environmental challenges humanity faces today. Researchers are encouraged to explore new frameworks, tools, and innovations that support the transition to sustainable systems.
Emphasis on Innovation and Sustainability
A distinctive focus of JESSGI lies in its commitment to publishing work that proposes or evaluates sustainable innovations. This includes low-carbon technologies, nature-based solutions, green design practices, and digital tools for environmental monitoring and forecasting. The journal supports studies that bridge the gap between academic research and real-world application, particularly those that help inform public policy or influence industrial practices.
We actively seek manuscripts that align with global sustainability frameworks, including the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, and regional or local sustainability action plans.
Examples of relevant themes include:
- Climate-resilient urban development
- Innovations in clean energy transitions
- Life cycle analysis of eco-products
- Development and evaluation of circular economy models
- Integration of indigenous knowledge in conservation practices
- Artificial intelligence applications for sustainability assessments
- Sustainable water reuse and recycling systems
- Ecological footprint analysis and carbon accounting
Types of Research Accepted
The journal publishes a wide spectrum of scholarly articles that contribute to the depth and breadth of environmental science and sustainability literature. These include:
1. Original Research
Comprehensive studies that present novel scientific results, experimental designs, and methodologies. Emphasis is placed on scientific rigor, reproducibility, and relevance to the journal’s core themes.
2. Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses
Critical syntheses of existing literature that offer in-depth evaluations of current research trends, knowledge gaps, and methodological strengths and weaknesses.
3. Policy and Practice Articles
Analyses of policy instruments, regulatory approaches, and sustainability programs at the local, national, or global level. We especially encourage empirical assessments of environmental laws and climate policies.
4. Conceptual and Theoretical Papers
Manuscripts that advance new frameworks, models, or paradigms for understanding sustainability, environmental governance, or innovation systems.
5. Case Studies
Real-world examples that illustrate how scientific findings or sustainable technologies are implemented in practice. These may cover community-based projects, corporate sustainability strategies, or governmental environmental interventions.
6. Short Communications
Brief contributions that present early findings, technical notes, pilot studies, or methodological innovations.
Global Relevance and Regional Inclusion
Environmental challenges are shared globally, but their impacts vary by region, climate, economy, and governance structures. JESSGI is committed to publishing regionally diverse perspectives that expand the global discourse on sustainability.
We encourage research from all geographic regions and welcome papers that reflect the unique challenges, innovations, and policy responses occurring in developing and transitional economies. Manuscripts addressing environmental justice, indigenous land rights, gender and sustainability, and community resilience are especially encouraged.
Contribution to Academic and Practical Advancement
JESSGI seeks to foster a collaborative knowledge environment where science informs action. As such, we support research that:
- Enhances understanding of environmental systems and human-environment interactions
- Provides data and tools for environmental monitoring and decision-making
- Contributes to the advancement of clean energy and climate mitigation strategies
- Promotes circular and regenerative models of production and consumption
- Encourages community-based solutions and participatory research approaches
- Explores ethical, legal, and institutional frameworks for sustainable governance
We are particularly interested in research that identifies implementation pathways and evaluates the effectiveness of interventions, whether technical, behavioral, or institutional.
The Journal of Environmental Science, Sustainability, and Green Innovation is a comprehensive and authoritative venue for researchers exploring the interplay between the environment, sustainable systems, and scientific innovation. By fostering cross-disciplinary dialogue and prioritizing research with real-world relevance, we seek to contribute meaningfully to the advancement of global sustainability.
Our scope is deliberately wide to accommodate the complexity of environmental challenges and the diversity of strategies required to address them. We invite authors who are generating knowledge, testing innovations, or influencing policy to contribute their work to this important and growing field.
