Environmental and Sustainability Indicators

Environmental and Sustainability Indicators, a companion title to the highly-respected Ecological Indicators, is an open access journal promoting research on indicators as drivers for environmental management, policy formulation, and interdisciplinary research assessing complex environmental interactions for stimulating sustainable development. The primary aim of Environmental and Sustainability Indicators is the publication of high-quality papers that develop and disseminate indicators as common practice for guiding human actions to achieve sustainable management and development in natural and human modified systems.

Papers considered for this journal should contribute to development or methodological steps at the interface of the three main drivers of the human society development at present:
•Search for human well-being and the maintenance of human health and safety;
•Maintenance of ecological sustainability and of natural environmental well-being;
•Systems' resilience in face of an increasing human pressure, resulting from population size and demand for wealth creation.

Indicators for sustainability and environmental management are requested in the areas of environmental management, climate change risk assessment, energy and natural resource management, and demographic and socioeconomic issues. Cross disciplinary work that touches on multiple goals of the UN SDGs are welcome, as disciplinary areas can include Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Environmental Sciences and Humanities, Economics of Climate Change, Management Sciences, Medicine, and Engineering.

The journal will accept the following types of contributions:
•Full-length research papers
•Review articles
•Mini-reviews
•Case studies
•Policy overviews
•Perspective papers (by invitation)
