Aims and Scope

Sustainable Science and Innovation (SSI) is a new international journal dedicated to clean, green, and sustainable science.

The defining scientific challenge of our era is no longer discovery alone, but discovery conducted within the limits of a finite and rapidly changing planet. Climate change, resource depletion, plastic pollution, food insecurity, and the escalating environmental footprint of industrial systems collectively demand science that is rigorous, transformative, and fundamentally sustainability-driven. Yet research in clean and green science remains widely dispersed across disciplinary boundaries, limiting its integration and translation into real-world solutions, and hindering the development of coherent and scalable responses to global sustainability challenges.

Sustainable Science and Innovation (SSI) is established to address this critical gap by providing an international platform for boundary-crossing research that integrates disciplines, advances sustainability science, and accelerates innovation with real-world impact. The journal seeks to transform sustainability principles into deployable scientific and technological solutions that support a more resilient, low-carbon, and sustainable future.

Original research, critical reviews, perspectives, and short communications presenting novel ideas, concepts, and innovations across clean and green science, including:

  • Clean and renewable energy — solar, wind, hydrogen, storage, grid innovation
  • Green and sustainable agriculture, food systems, and alternative proteins
  • Degradable, recyclable, and bio-based functional materials; circular economy
  • Green chemistry and sustainable technologies for drug discovery and manufacturing
  • Green catalysis — green catalyst innovation and biocatalyst engineering
  • Clean water, air, and soil; pollution remediation and resource recovery
  • Sustainable manufacturing, AI-driven green design, and life-cycle innovation
  • Earth science for sustainability — climate, geosciences, oceans, biosphere, and natural-hazard resilience
