UCL Open: Environment is a new, open and transparent open access journal promoted by the University College London, a UNAI member institution in the United Kingdom, where high-impact disciplinary and interdisciplinary research is published that showcases radical and critical thinking on real-world issues. The journal welcomes submissions across all aspects of environment-related research and the generation of new knowledge.
Water is one of the Earth’s most distinguishing features. It is essential to life. It is a fundamental part of our society and economy. Water shortages could be made worse with our changing climate leading to more frequent or even more severe droughts. Likewise, flooding could become worse because of increased periods of intense rainfall or because a combination of factors to which sea-level rise (driven by ocean expansion and polar melt) will add makes coastal erosion and flooding that much more of an issue.
In this framework, UCL Open: Environment has made a call for papers. Submissions are open to anyone and may be research articles directly concerned with one or a combination of the SDGs relevant to the uses of water interaction or form a nexi with those Environment focused SDGs that in a sense host the sources of water on the planet (SDGs 6, 13, 14 and 15). Submissions covering an examination of progress on all these SDGs viewed from the perspective of the global water cycle and whether the indicators and targets and evidence available to us all, deliver a more balanced view of water and how it might be best managed in future, are also welcomed for submission.
The deadline is 30 April 2022. For more information click here.
