About the Journal
Transformations and Sustainability is a cutting-edge, interdisciplinary peer-reviewed journal that explores the dynamic interplay between transformative change and sustainable development. Dedicated to addressing the pressing environmental, social, economic, and technological challenges of our time, the journal serves as a platform for innovative research, critical analysis, and visionary thinking and knowledge sharing.
From climate resilience and circular economy to social equity and policy innovations, Transformations and Sustainability journal seeks to exchange knowledge for system reshaping, community empowerment, and a more just and sustainable future. With a global perspective and a commitment to impact, the journal invites researchers to share they insights that inspire action and drive meaningful transformative change towards sustainability. The research on transformations taking place at the micro-level (grassroots movements) and macro-level (policies) requires constructing and evaluating sustainability metrics, designing transformative strategies, and identifying potential research questions. Transformations include change, innovations, and reforms. This journal is the best gateway to pioneering thought and real-world solutions related to transformations leading to sustainability change.
We invite contributions that examine the deep shifts—in values, behaviours, institutions, technologies, and power structures—needed to achieve sustainability: ecological balance, social justice, and economic well-being for both current and future generations. The journal stresses the need for solid economic and analytical background of the sustainability research in order to properly model and analysing the interconnected phenomena.
The journal welcomes a wide range of research, perspectives, and methodologies, including but not limited to:
- Sustainability science and systems thinking
- Economic resilience and sustainability
- Measures and methods for sustainability assessment
- Tools for sustainability analysis, including machine learning and AI driving transformations and decision making towards sustainability
- Innovations in governance and policy for supporting transformations towards sustainability
- Decarbonization strategies and pathways in diverse sectors
- Social-ecological transformations and resilience
- Climate adaptation, mitigation, and justice
- Urban transitions and regenerative design
- Circular economy, degrowth, and post-growth futures
- Behavioural change, education, and cultural transformation
- Business models for transformations towards sustainable operations
By embracing both theoretical explorations and practical applications, Transformations and Sustainability bridges academia, policy, and practice. It provides a space for diverse voices—scholars and practitioners—to co-create knowledge and solutions that are advanced, inclusive, and actionable.
Each issue seeks to spark critical dialogue, challenge prevailing paradigms, and illuminate pathways for meaningful transformation in the face of global uncertainty, risks and crisis. With a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary and real-world impact, the journal aspires to shape the discourse on what it truly means to live and thrive sustainably in a rapidly changing world.
