Consilience “is run by a dedicated team of undergraduate students
and is based out of Columbia University in New York City. By
providing a public platform for discussion, we hope to encourage a
global community to think more broadly, thoroughly and analytically
about sustainable development. This publication aims to bring
students, researchers, professors, and practitioners from a variety
of disciplines and geographical regions in direct conversation with
each other through an online, academically rigorous medium” that
pushes the conversation.
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.”
Energy, Sustainability, and Science “provide[s] an international
and interdisciplinary forum for the discourse between natural
scientists, engineers, social & political scientists as well as experts
from industry who drive the innovation of sustainable energy
systems. It is the particular aim of this journal to publish articles

extending across different disciplines and providing a substantial
contribution to the holistic innovation of these energy systems.”
Engineering Sustainability provides a forum for sharing the latest
thinking from research and practice, and increasingly is presenting
the ‘how to’ of engineering a resilient future. The journal features
refereed papers and shorter articles relating to the pursuit and
implementation of sustainability principles through engineering
planning, design and application. The tensions between and
integration of social, economic and environmental considerations
within such schemes are of particular relevance. Methodologies for
assessing sustainability, policy issues, education and corporate

responsibility will also be included.
International Journal of Agricultural Sustainability “is a crossdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing the
understanding of sustainability in agricultural and food
systems. IJAS publishes both theoretical developments and critical
appraisals of new evidence on what is not sustainable about
current or past agricultural and food systems, as well as on
transitions towards agricultural and rural sustainability at farm,


community, regional, national and international levels, and through
food supply chains.”
The International Journal of Environment and Sustainability “is
an interdisciplinary journal directed towards academics,
practitioners and policy makers within and across nations.”
The IJES publishes on a wide range of topics that includes
sustainability indicators, energy, globalization, hazardous wast, soil
science, water quality, and more.
The International Journal of Illich Studies “is an open access,
interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed publication dedicated to engaging
the thought and writing of Ivan Illich and his circle.
Articles/Reviews/Reflections are invited on any subject that
intersects with the wide range of IIlich’s ideas, or that represent a
version of the social critique for which he became famous on
matters such as modern socio-economic development,
industrialized “progress,” institutional bureaucratization &
professionalism, the privatization of the commons, and


sustainability conceived in light of his views” of progress,
development, and conviviality.
International Journal of Sustainability in Higher
Education “specifically address[es] the need for the dissemination
of information on sustainability matters at higher education
institutions.” It is an excellent resource for learning about
pedagogical and operational practices for sustainability in higher
education around the globe.
International Journal of Sustainable Built Environment seeks to
understand the broad spectrum of the built environment on our
lives. The journal recognizes that the built environmnet “contributes

to air pollution, land use and contamination, fossil fuel depletion,
water depletion, water pollution, materials depletion, impacts on
human health, and climate change. Responsible urbanization
practices on micro and macro levels can mitigate the negative
effects of the built environment. The philosophical and analytic
framework of sustainability draws on and links with numerous
different fields and disciplines.”
International Journal of Sustainable Development and
Planning is an interdisciplinary journal covering the subjects of
environmental design and planning, environmental management,
spatial planning, environmental planning, environmental
management and sustainable development in an integrated way as
well as in accordance with the principles of sustainability. In the
beginning of the 21st century, despite major scientific and
technological accomplishments, the struggle for a cleaner
environment as well as for rational organization of space is not
settled. It is clear to us that environmentalists, planners, policy

makers, engineers and economists have to work together in order
to ensure that environmental protection, spatial co-ordination and
economic development could all be achieved without compromising
the ability of future generations to meet their own requirements.
The Journal of Agriculture and Sustainability “publishes papers
