Anthropocene Science

An International Journal for Addressing Human Impact on the Resilience of the Planet Earth

Publishing model:

Overview

Anthropocene Science is a trans- and multidisciplinary international peer-reviewed journal for addressing various anthropogenic drivers and responses of changes on the vitality, stability, and environmental functioning of the planet Earth and ground-breaking solutions for restoring and enhancing the carrying capacity of our biosphere. The journal recognises the changes society has made to the functioning of the biosphere and addresses the various dimensions of these changes for human and environmental well-being. It aims to publish full length research articles, short communications, reviews, graphical reviews, opinions, policy analysis, news and views, and case studies focusing on interactions between nature and people and how these relationships tend to affect the critical life supporting systems and human survival. The journal welcomes new and innovative concepts, frameworks, technologies and policy interventions addressing transitions towards sustainability in areas such as agriculture, food systems, biodiversity, land use, water resource management, urban development, industrial production, pollution control, energy production and utilization, climate change mitigation and adaptation, public health and sanitation, natural resource governance etc. The journal welcomes research drawing on emerging paradigms such as planetary healthy diets, nature-based solutions (NbS), ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA), ecosystem health (EH), ecosystem governance (EG), ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction (Eco-DRR), as well as research that harnesses biocultural diversity and traditional knowledge for achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN-SDGs). In essence, the journal aims to address how human activities influence the resilience of planet Earth and how knowledge-driven scientific and technological innovations and societal transformations based on sustainability principles can restore the Earth’s vitality.
