About the Journal

The concerns for sustainability of natural and environmental resources have arisen due to their misuse by mankind. While the economically weaker sections of society are compelled to overuse these resources for meeting their basic needs, the affluent are overexploiting them due to their insatiable needs. The carrying capacity of nature is limited and, with the ever-increasing exploitation and degradation of resources, it may not be able to sustain an enhanced pressure. We are facing a challenge of optimizing the use of the currently available resources to meet the needs of the present generation without compromising on the requirements of the future generations. To achieve this, it is imperative that we utilize our natural and environmental resources in such a way that our fragile ecosystem does not suffer an irreversible damage. This urgently requires evolving some innovative methods that provide sustainable solutions to the problems of depletion and degradation of resources.

The objective of publishing the International Journal for Sustainable Innovations (IJSI) is to highlight any innovative approach, research or action by various stakeholders including the academicians, researchers and policy makers. It focuses on issues related to energy, environment, infrastructure, industrialization, rural development, urbanization, and other development sectors, the consequences of which are the major concerns for a sustainable future. IJSI is an inter-disciplinary journal that follows the three-pillar approach for sustainability, viz., social, economic and environmental. The Editorial Board of the IJSI consists of prominent persons from various areas of expertise.

The Editorial Board of the IJSI invites contributions in the form of articles, papers, books, monographs, policy reports, etc., for review and publication.
