Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability

The Current Opinion journals were developed out of the recognition that it is increasingly difficult for specialists to keep up to date with the expanding volume of information published in their subject. In Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability, we help the reader by providing in a systematic manner:1.The views of experts on current advances in environmental sustainability in a clear and readable form.2.Evaluations of the most interesting papers, annotated by experts, from the great wealth of original publications.Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability aims to track the emergence of a new innovative sustainability science discipline by integrating across regional and global systems with their typical dimensions, human-environment interactions and management challenges. Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability thus emphasises the actual interdisciplinary sustainability research approaches, the solutions it provides and their dissemination and application.Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability aims to stimulate scientifically grounded, interdisciplinary, multi-scale debate and exchange of ideas. It will contain polished, concise and timely review and synthesis papers. Additionally, Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability will continue to publish papers on strategic research plans of Future Earth (http://www.icsu.org/future-earth) and related global-change projects. It will thus serve as an invaluable source of information for researchers, lecturers, teachers, professionals, policy makers and students.The subject of environmental sustainability is divided into 6 themed annual issues. Each theme helps to identify, understand and solve sustainability problems and are not mutually exclusive. The overlap results from the actual complexity of combining all the sustainability science dimensions and approaches. The themes are:1.Environmental change issues;2.Environmental change assessments;3.System dynamics and sustainability;4.Sustainability governance and transformation;5.Sustainability challenges; 6.Sustainability science.This set allows for flexible integration of natural sciences with the social sciences, humanities and engineering disciplines. The themes focus on major global-change systems and problems (Themes 1-3), the emerging new transdisciplinary sustainability science, as generated in Future Earth or as part of the evolving UN's sustainable development goals (Themes 4 and 5) and a more philosophical reflection on approaches of sustainability science (Theme 6).

目前的意见期刊是由于认识到专家越来越难以跟上在其主题上发表的信息量不断扩大的情况而发展起来的。在《环境可持续发展》的最新意见中，我们以系统的方式向读者提供:1.专家对当前环境可持续性进展的观点，以清晰易读的形式提出。2.最有趣的论文的评估，由专家注释，从大量的原始出版物。《当前环境可持续发展观点》旨在通过整合区域和全球系统的典型维度、人类与环境的相互作用和管理挑战，追踪一门新的创新性可持续发展科学学科的出现。因此，当前的环境可持续发展观点强调跨学科的可持续发展研究方法、解决方案及其传播和应用。当前关于环境可持续性的观点旨在激发科学的、跨学科的、多尺度的辩论和思想交流。它将包含抛光，简洁和及时的审查和综合论文。此外，《当前环境可持续性意见》将继续发表关于未来地球战略研究计划和相关全球变化项目的论文(http://www.icsu.org/fuearth)。因此，它将成为研究人员、讲师、教师、专业人员、决策者和学生的宝贵信息来源。环境可持续性的主题分为6个主题年度议题。每一个主题都有助于确定、理解和解决可持续性问题，并不是相互排斥的。这种重叠是由于将所有可持续性科学维度和方法结合起来的实际复杂性造成的。主题是:1.环境变化问题;2.环境变化评估;3.系统动力学和可持续性;4.可持续发展、治理和转型;5.可持续发展的挑战;6.可持续性科学。这套系统允许将自然科学与社会科学、人文学科和工程学科灵活地结合起来。主题集中在主要变化系统和问题(主题1 - 3),生成的新兴学科间的可持续性科学在未来地球或作为进化的一部分,联合国可持续发展目标(主题4和5)和更可持续发展科学的哲学反思的方法(主题6)。
