環境科學與政策促進政府、工商業、學術界和非政府組織之間的溝通，這些組織在解決環境問題方面發揮著重要作用。它還尋求促進與環境問題有關的跨學科研究，例如氣候變化、生物多樣性、環境污染和廢物、可再生和不可再生自然資源、可持續性以及這些問題之間的相互作用。該雜志強調這些環境問題與社會和經濟問題之間的聯系，如生產、運輸、消費、增長、人口變化、福祉和健康。但是，主題的范圍將不限于這些問題，并將鼓勵采用新的方面。編輯政策:《環境科學與政策》將以英文發表原創研究論文、研究與政策評論及注釋、論壇討論已發表的作品及書評。提交的文件應處理具有國際意義的環境問題，旨在為政策辯論和決策提供信息，并具有國際相關性。因此，關注當地問題的手稿如果能提出研究策略或提供更普遍的有價值的經驗教訓，是受歡迎的。我們也歡迎那些表明需要進一步科學研究的手稿。所有的貢獻將獨立審查。我們鼓勵和歡迎就普通問題和客座編輯的特別問題提出建議。

Environmental Science & Policy promotes communication among government, business and industry, academia, and non-governmental organisations who are instrumental in the solution of environmental problems. It also seeks to advance interdisciplinary research of policy relevance on environmental issues such as climate change, biodiversity, environmental pollution and wastes, renewable and non-renewable natural resources, sustainability, and the interactions among these issues. The journal emphasises the linkages between these environmental issues and social and economic issues such as production, transport, consumption, growth, demographic changes, well-being, and health. However, the subject coverage will not be restricted to these issues and the introduction of new dimensions will be encouraged.Editorial Policy: Environmental Science and Policy will publish original research papers, research and policy reviews and notes, forum discussion of published work and book reviews in English. Submitted papers should address environmental issues of international significance, aim at informing policy debates and making, and be of international relevance. Hence, manuscripts focusing on local issues are welcome if they suggest research strategies or offer lessons that valuable more generally. Manuscripts which reveal the need for further scientific research are also welcome. All contributions will be independently reviewed. Proposals for ordinary and guest-edited special issues are encouraged and welcomed.
