Call for Papers: Shaping Sustainable Futures Through Human Behaviour and Social Change

02/28/2026

The Journal of Sustainability Science, Behaviour and Social Transformation​ is an international journal dedicated to research on the human and behavioural dimensions of sustainability. We recognise that the deep challenge of transitioning to a sustainable future lies not only in technology but in how we think, behave, and organise our societies. This journal aims to be the premier forum for examining this human-centric core.

We invite contributions that explore:

  • The Human Mind for a Sustainable Planet:​ Behavioural change, decision science, motivation, and the cognitive/emotional drivers of pro-environmental action.

  • The Power of Community & Society:​ Social innovation, participatory governance, community transformation, youth empowerment, and social mobilisation.

  • Learning for Resilience:​ Sustainability education, curriculum redesign, capacity building, and communication strategies to combat misinformation.

  • Well-being & Cultural Foundations:​ Pathways linking sustainability to social well-being, cultural sustainability, and building social resilience.

  • Policy & Institutional Evolution:​ Integrating behavioural insights into policy, fostering institutional change, and measuring social progress.

This Journal Is For:​ Psychologists, sociologists, educators, communication scholars, policy researchers, urban planners, community practitioners, and all interdisciplinary researchers who believe sustainability is fundamentally about people.
