Transactions in Earth, Environment, and Sustainability
The Earth is undergoing rapid and continuous change at the same time as we need energy, food, water, health and security from it. The transformation of the environment and of ecosystems on the Earth have created sustainability challenges. Systematic solutions are required for the sustainable use of food, energy, water, and for adaptation to climate change. The science required to understand the interactions of natural-social systems - in such a sustainability-challenged world - is in need of further thought which requires a different “lens” to view the issues.
China’s hyper-industrialization and accelerated urbanization present researchers with new questions for understanding social-ecological systems, which are often unique in research literature. Not least as these processes relate to the environment and sustainability, all of which require rigorous contextual and comparative analysis.
Transactions in Earth, Environment, and Sustainability will publish original research exploring sustainable futures using – but not limited to - China as a lens.

It encourages innovative thinking about the links between Earth, environment, and sustainability, at global or regional scale with multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary perspectives. The journal will facilitate the exchange of ideas among researchers, planners, policy makers in the context of social-ecological systems.
The journal welcomes original, high-quality research articles, review articles, short communications, perspective articles and editorials on, but not exclusive to, the following themes:
- Earth: eco-hydrological processes, climate-vegetation interaction, soil erosion, biodiversity conservation, ecosystem health, and climate change mitigation and adaptation.
- Environment: environmental pollution and governance, food-energy-water nexus, ecological effects associated with land-use change, landscape multifunctionality, ecosystem services and human well-being, human-nature interaction.
- Sustainability: theory, practice and critical challenges in sustainable development, sustainable development goals, policies and decision-making, sustainability indicators and modeling, and social-ecological system vulnerability, risk and resilience.
