AIMS & SCOPE

Journal of Environmental Law & Policy is an international, interdisciplinary journal that facilitates an understanding of environmental policy and law issues not only by drawing upon and contributing to the environmental social sciences, but also linking the ecosystem health, natural resources, and social sciences. The journal provides an exchange of information and experience on all legal, administrative, and policy matters relevant to the human and natural environment in its widest sense. It covers all aspects included in the concept of sustainable development. The aim of the journal is to promote communication among academia, government, business and industry, civil society groups, citizens’ action groups, and non-governmental organizations who are instrumental in the solving of environmental problems and grassroots level issues. By bridging both academic and professional domains, the journal provides professionals, practitioners, researchers, students, and policymakers, and any other persons with information on developments in the field of international and regional environmental policy, environmental governance and environmental law – domestic as well as international/regional/global.

The journal’s scope encompasses a wide range of environmental and natural resource issues, for example:

  • biodiversity loss,
