Environmental Science & Policy (ESP)

Environmental Science & Policy is a peer‑reviewed interdisciplinary academic journal published by Elsevier that focuses on research at the interface of environmental science, policy, and decision‑making. The journal aims to bridge the gap between scientific research and environmental policy, providing a forum where scholars, practitioners, and policymakers can share new insights into how environmental knowledge shapes, and is shaped by, policy processes. It publishes original research articles, reviews, and policy analyses that explore key contemporary environmental challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution, sustainable resource management, and environmental governance. The scope of the journal emphasizes transdisciplinary work that advances understanding of how scientific evidence is used in public and private decision‑making, how policy frameworks affect environmental outcomes, and the social, economic, and institutional dimensions of environmental issues. It highlights research that evaluates policy effectiveness, examines knowledge co‑production, and investigates the interactions between scientific expertise, local and indigenous knowledge systems, and policy arenas. As a platform closely connected to both the scientific and policy communities, the journal plays an important role in informing evidence‑based environmental policy and supporting sustainable environmental solutions globally.
