Innovation and Green Development

Innovation and Green Development is an international, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing knowledge and practice at the intersection of social, economic, political, technological and environmental responsibility. The journal addresses urgent global challenges—including climate change, resource depletion, and environmental degradation—by exploring the role of technological, economic, and policy innovations in driving green transformation and sustainable development.

We aim to publish high-quality theoretical, empirical, and policy-oriented research that provides novel insights into the drivers, mechanisms, and outcomes of sustainable development, while informing pathways toward a low-carbon, resilient, and inclusive future.
