Aims and scope

Ambio – A Journal of Environment and Society publishes research on the interrelationships between society and environment. For more than 50 years Ambio has provided a global readership with broad and diverse perspectives on important developments in environmental research, policy and related activities. Our articles present research to help understand contemporary sustainability changes and how proposed solutions may be implemented.

Original contributions can be submitted to Ambio as Research articles, Reviews, Perspectives, Short Communications, or Comments. The five categories offer complementary options for presenting results and new ideas. Regardless of article category, your submission should make a clear link between the environment and society. We particularly encourage multi-, inter- and transdisciplinary submissions. Authors are advised to check the Ambio Author Instructions under Submission guidelines as these are updated regularly. Please also check out Collections and calls for papers to find our Special Issues and Topical Collections.

Ambio has a dedicated group of editors to assist the authors in broadening the scientific and societal impact of their research. Ambio was founded in 1972, following the first UN conference on the environment, and is owned by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
