Sustainable Earth Reviews is an open access journal dedicated to advancing sustainability science and its potential to influence policy, promote transferable knowledge, and achieve global sustainable development. The critical challenges and global efforts of sustainability affect every facet of life on Earth. This is a global issue recognized by the United Nations and requires the involvement of a broad range of experts in the natural sciences, engineering, and social sciences. In line with the importance of Nexus approaches in sustainability, Sustainable Earth Reviews fosters integrative discussions that bring together diverse perspectives from across scientific disciplines. To promote a deeper understanding of sustainability science and to translate research into practice, Sustainable Earth Reviews publishes primarily overview-like articles that are able to synthesize existing evidence, innovatively analyze new emerging challenges, formulate effective summaries and practice recommendations, and propose exchanges of broad significance. Content types include a variety of overview formats such as Review, Analysis, Systematic Review, Policy Guidelines, Debate and Perspective. Primary research findings, as well as practical case studies, are considered only when presented as part of a broader analysis. Sustainable Earth Reviews provides a community forum for practitioners and researchers across science disciplines, such as ecology, biodiversity and conservation, earth and environmental sciences, climate and atmospheric sciences, engineering, food security and agriculture, land use and resource management, water management, energy, urban sustainability, as well as public health, education, and economics. It aims to deliver content that is valuable to specialists in specific fields, while also promoting transdisciplinary approaches and holistic solutions. As a community-oriented journal, Sustainable Earth Reviews bridges the gap between academia and the general public. We aim to enhance communication through both traditional and innovative scientific channels, promoting academic discourse that connects sustainability research with societal impact. Sustainable Earth Reviews particularly welcomes innovative and impactful submissions that have the potential to influence policy or shift social paradigms in support of sustainable development. To further advance this vision, the journal will engage authors and readers with contemporary topics of public interest and the critical socio-economic and policy importance, offering a space for thought leadership in sustainability science.
