Introduction

Global Environmental Change and Sustainability (GECS) is an international, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing research on the profound environmental transformations shaping our planet. As the world faces escalating challenges—including climate change, biodiversity loss, land degradation, pollution, and resource depletion—the need for integrated, science-based, and policy-relevant solutions is increasingly urgent.

GECS provides a multidisciplinary platform that bridges natural sciences, social sciences, engineering, governance, and technological innovation. The journal publishes cutting-edge research on climate system dynamics, ecosystem sustainability, sustainable resource management, environmental health, renewable energy transitions, and socio-ecological resilience at local, regional, and global scales.

By fostering collaboration among researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and interdisciplinary teams, GECS aims to promote transformative insights and actionable strategies that support sustainability, environmental stewardship, and long-term planetary well-being for present and future generations.
