Call for Submissions

Consilience: The Journal of Sustainable Development is an online, open-access, solutions-oriented platform dedicated to advancing dialogue on sustainable development. Our global scope allows us to provide an interdisciplinary space to identify and develop innovative solutions to the quandaries facing us today and those that will emerge in the future.

Submissions for the next edition of Consilience are closed. You are welcome to submit for the following edition, though these submissions will not be reviewed until after this edition is published in the fall.

Please submit all articles through this website by visiting the Submissions page.

Consilience, founded in 2007, is based at Columbia University in the City of New York. By creating a public platform for discussion, we hope to encourage an international community to think more broadly, deeply, and analytically about sustainable development. Through an online, intellectually rigorous forum, Consilience is an essential conduit that connects students, researchers, professors, and practitioners from a variety of academic fields and geographical regions. We are forging dynamic conversations that recognize, analyze, and tackle many of the challenges of sustainable development while dissolving traditional boundaries and limitations. Consilience is the first student-founded journal of its kind.

Your are encouraged to view past issues in our archive and to consider submitting your work to our upcoming publication.
