Journals

Global Challenges is a peer-reviewed multidisciplinary open access journal that publishes original research articles, reviews, and commentaries aimed at providing practical solutions to a broad spectrum of current global challenges, for example:

•    Sustainability
•    Climate change and environmental protection
•    Energy generation, storage, and distribution
•    Food and water safety and provision
•    Global health and healthcare
•    Technological development

Contributions from chemistry, physics, engineering, materials science, the life sciences, medicine, healthcare, technology, and the social sciences are welcome. Work that makes important technologies cheaper, more efficient, and more accessible are welcome.
