A New Publication for a Sustainable and Desirable Future
The aim of Solutions is to encourage and publish integrative solutions to the world’s most pressing problems: climate disruption, loss of biodiversity, poverty, energy descent, overfishing, air, water, and soil pollution, and human population growth, to name a few. There is already plenty of discussion about these problems, along with an abundance of isolated and technical solutions, some of which may prove to be extremely valuable. Solutions is a forum for putting the pieces together, prompting intelligent discussion of what can be done, and what should be done.
Solutions is an online and print journal, a hybrid between a popular magazine and a peer-reviewed journal. It is intended for a broad audience that reaches beyond traditional academic journals to the informed public. It will provide a much-needed forum, devoted to whole-system solutions and the design of an integrated human and natural world.
Solutions uses a much more constructive, transdisciplinary review process than typical journals. We encourage collaboration and co-authorship between original authors and reviewers.
This constructive review process improves the quality of articles and enables the development of innovative, integrative, and whole-system solutions. It allows for broader, more transdisciplinary perspectives on a topic, creating articles that appeal to a larger community, with a stronger chance of being implemented. Learn more >>

Call for Contributions
We are soliciting articles and ideas for articles describing solutions for a sustainable and desirable world. These solutions should employ whole-system thinking, be at the appropriate spatial and temporal scales, and address, but not be hobbled by, the institutional and cultural changes that may be required. A solution does not have to solve all problems, but it should recognize what problems it can solve, and what other problems it might cause.Download the Call for Contributions flyer here.
