Journal of Environmental Sciences and Sustainability (JESS) is a peer-reviewed, international, open-access journal dedicated to advancing scientific knowledge and practical solutions for environmental protection, sustainable development, and long-term ecological balance. The journal publishes high-quality original research articles, review papers, short communications, case studies, and technical perspectives that address contemporary challenges at the intersection of environmental sciences, sustainability, and socio-ecological systems.
JESS provides a multidisciplinary platform for environmental scientists, sustainability researchers, engineers, policymakers, economists, and social scientists to disseminate research that supports sustainable resource management, climate resilience, pollution control, and environmentally responsible innovation.
