Nature Sustainability

New to the JCU library collection is the journal Nature Sustainability. This journal publishes original research on sustainability policy dimensions and possible solutions from a broad range of natural, social and engineering fields. The overarching goal of sustainability research is to understand how to ensure life within the biophysical limits of the planet.

Nature Sustainability covers topics including agriculture and food security, biodiversity conservation, circular economy, cities and urbanisation, climate change in holistic context, development, ecosystem services, education, environmental behaviour, environmental degradation, environmental law, green infrastructure, health and environment, human population, innovation, land use and land use change, natural capital, natural resources management, policy, pollution, poverty, supply chain, waste, water–energy–food and water-soil-waste connections and others, all as related to sustainability. 

Part of the journal’s mission is to facilitate a cross-disciplinary dialogue around sustainability issues, and narrow the gap between research and policy making to ensure the real-world impact of research.
