Global Sustainability Research
Collection 

Supporting Horizon 2020 and UN Sustainable Development Goals

SIGN UP FOR MORE

On Earth Day, 22 April 2022, we have put together a collection of articles from diverse special issues supporting the Horizon 2020 missions.

The special issues were created with the help of our Editors and authors across Life, Earth and Environmental Sciences subject areas. These missions are research and policy priorities for the European Commission for this decade. They are also connected to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and as such, the articles in these special issues are directly relevant to activities and policy conversations designed to support the SDGs.

The collection was planned a year ago and articles were actively commissioned covering areas of the Horizon Missions and the key SDGs linked to them:

      Climate Policy
      A leading international peer-reviewed academic journal, publishing high quality research and analysis on all aspects of climate change policy. 
      These collections highlight key topics and discussions in the field of climate policy: Land Use, Adaptation, and, in Celebration of Earth Day 2022, Climate and Sustainable Finance.

      Land Use

      Land Use Collection from TFO

      Land use, the management and modification of our terrestrial environment, is one of the main drivers of global environmental change.

      This special collection showcases current research on a range of sustainable land use practices and climate adaptation strategies employed across regions and types of land.

      Climate & Sustainable Finance

      Climate and Sustainable Finance Collection from TFO


      Finance for climate action needs to span the full range of policy challenges.

      This special collection showcases current research on a full range of climate finance topics.

      Adaptation

      Adaptation Collection from TFO

      The effects and impacts of climate change are being felt globally. Adapting to these changes has become our reality, along with mitigation.

       This special collection showcases current research on climate change adaptation, with respect to strategies, policy assessments, and identifying and managing vulnerabilities.

      Launch of Key Policy Highlights

      Key Policy Highlights (KPH) communicate the significance of scientific research evidence in jargon-free and clear language, to a non-scientific audience. This audience includes policy-makers and professionals in nearby disciplines.

      This pilot scheme offers authors (in participating journals) the option to publish a secondary abstract called ‘Key Policy Highlights’, as part of the scientific research paper.

      By highlighting the policy relevance of research via Key Policy Highlights, you will:

      • Increase the journal’s readership particularly from a policy audience

      • Facilitate the uptake of original research into decision-making

      Book Research

      Routledge is proud to support the global Earth Day movement in 2022.


      Driven by three dedicated environment and sustainability editors, we have published an extensive range of books supporting researchers, academics, practitioners, students, activists and policymakers in their vital work.
      This year, we want to highlight some of our most impactful offerings that align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, including (2) Zero Hunger, (3) Good Health and Well-being, (6) Clean Water and Sanitation, (11) Sustainable Cities and Communities, (12) Responsible Consumption and Production and (13) Climate Action.

      To celebrate Earth Day 2022, we have curated a range of short think pieces written by experts in the field, many of whom are also Routledge authors. Insightful and pertinent, they anchor each of the featured Sustainable Development Goals in real-world examples or academic theory and commentary, and demonstrate how each Goal might inspire action for a sustainable future.

      Both humanity and our planet exist at a critical turning point due to climate change and the resulting environmental challenges we face. Sustainability solutions need to be a focal discussion in the fight against global warming. Explore with us future innovations in our Environment and Sustainability blogs.
