One Earth is Cell Press' flagship sustainability journal. One Earth provides a home for high-quality research and perspectives that significantly advance our ability to better understand and address today's sustainability challenges. We publish monthly thematic issues that aspire to break down barriers between the natural, social and applied sciences and the humanities, stimulate the cross-pollination of ideas, and encourage transformative research.While disciplinary studies will certainly be considered, we particularly encourage submissions with cross-disciplinary interest. Studies conducted at all spatial, temporal, and socio-political scales will be considered, but all submissions must offer a significant conceptual advance. We are open to submissions on all relevant topics and are particularly interested in the following areas of research and policy:Biodiversity and ecosystem servicesClimate dynamics, adaptation, and mitigationEngineering and innovation for sustainabilityEnvironmental pollution and novel entitiesFood systems and nutritionGovernance, policy, and international relationsHuman behavior and psychologyHuman health and well-beingLand use changeOcean and coastal sustainabilitySustainable and equitable development pathwaysSustainable cities and communitiesSustainable energy systemsSustainable finance and economicsSustainable production, consumption, and waste managementWater resourcesAs a sister journal to Cell, One Earth is committed to the high-quality publishing values synonymous with the Cell Press brand and strives to publish top-tier original research and provide a fair, rapid, and rigorous peer-review process via a dedicated team of professional editors.

The journal's website is authoritative for fees; sources were observed at different times and each keeps its own value, without averaging.

Excerpts are quoted from the journal's website; "model summary" lines are written by Workers AI and checked against the text. The journal's website is authoritative.
