Announcements

Under the travel restrictions imposed by the ongoing pandemic, academic exchanges have become increasingly strained. Yet, our endeavors for advancing scholarly publishing and communication never stop. To celebrate this year’s International Women’s Day, we are dedicated to furthering cutting-edge research on human inclusion and equality, and acknowledging the achievements of women in advancing Sustainability.

Sustainability runs Special Issues to create collections of papers to promote the diversity of scholarly communication among our readers, editors and authors. Special Issues are led by Guest Editors who are experts in the subject and oversee the editorial process for papers. Papers published in a Special Issue are collected together on a dedicated page of the journal website. For any inquiries, please contact the Editorial Office and we hope that this will spark new ideas for further collaborations and discussions.

On this International Women’s Day, we present the latest research below on, and by, women in Sustainability:
