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