Welcome to Earth System Governance – the new open-access journal for all those interested in the study of institutions, political processes and governance mechanisms related to environmental change, earth system transformations and the quest for global sustainability. Earth System Governance is open to scholars from all disciplines, empirical fields, and theoretical and methodological approaches. In addition, this new journal serves as the flagship outlet for the Earth System Governance Project, the leading global research alliance in this field.
Earth System Governance is an open access journal. All published articles are freely available through the internet to anybody, anywhere, at all times. We have chosen this model for a variety of reasons.
Earth System Governance has been launched as the key global forum for the scientifically rigorous but also solution-driven debate on how to respond to global environmental change and earth system transformation by making our governance systems, from local to global levels, more effective, more equitable, and more democratic. We look forward to your contributions.
