Elsevier, a global leader in research publishing and information analytics, has launched a free access special issue of curated content focused on environmental issues, in recognition of the UN’s World Environment Day.
Consisting of journal articles and book chapters supporting the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this free resource is intended to further new research and raise awareness around pressing environmental issues such as climate change, sustainable development and consumption, marine pollution, and ecosystem restoration.
The public can access the special issue by visiting the RELX SDG Resource Centre. In addition to the content collection, Dr. Márcia Balisciano, RELX’s Global Head of Corporate Responsibility, interviews Prof. Brian Fath, Editor-in-Chief of the Encyclopedia of Ecology and co-Editor-in-Chief for the journal Current Research in Environmental Sustainability, and Dr. Daniel A. Fiscus, researcher in sustainability, systems ecology, food systems, and regenerative economics, and member of the Western Maryland Food Council and Research Alliance for Regenerative Economics. Prof. Fath and Dr. Fiscus are also co-authors of the book Foundations for Sustainability.
Since its beginning in 1974, World Environment Day has been celebrated each year on June 5, bringing together citizens, governments, and businesses to address critical environmental issues and encourage sustainable action from all, in a bid to build a greener future. This year, with official celebrations taking place in Pakistan, the UN is engaging the public through #GenerationRestoration. This year’s theme aims to revive and restore the planet’s vital ecosystems by pushing for sustainable farming, manufacturing, and consumption; government investment in repairing the environment and wider education on environmental issues to inspire action from all.
To further support this mission, Elsevier’s Education, Reference and Continuity Group, along with its Scientific, Technical and Medical Journals group, are publishing curated content, covering a range of topics including ecosystem restoration, climate change, sustainable development and consumption, marine pollution.
The special issue collection of articles and book chapters can be accessed by visiting the SciTech Connect Blog or the RELX SDG Resource Centre.
