Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability

The Current Opinion journals were developed out of the recognition that it is increasingly difficult for specialists to keep up to date with the expanding volume of information published in their subject. We help the reader by providing in a systematic manner: 1. The views of experts on current advances in environmental sustainability in a clear and readable form, 2. Evaluations of the most interesting papers, annotated by experts, from the great wealth of original publications.
The journal addresses all the economic, social, technological and institutional aspects related to the challenge of environmental sustainability by focussing on integration across academic disciplines and insights with implications for societal practices and processes.
Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability aims to stimulate scientifically grounded, interdisciplinary, multi-scale debate and exchange of ideas.
Submission to this journal is by invitation only.
The subject of environmental sustainability is divided into 6 themed sections, each of which is reviewed once a year: (1) Climate (covering climate change, climate risk management, and adaptation), (2) Human settlements and habitat (covering cities, urbanization, transport), (3) Energy systems (covering renewable energy, energy efficiency, bioenergy), (4) Terrestrials systems (food systems, biodiversity, and ecosystem services), (5) Carbon and Nitrogen cycles, (6) Aquatic systems (covering marine and fresh water, fisheries, currents, etc.). The common denominators across these sections, to assure a cross cutting approach are: (a) interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary; (b) quantitative; (c) multi-scale (regional vs. global; space vs. time); (d) focus on integrated assessment; (e) governance, ethics, behaviour, education, and policy tools.
