Natural Resources Forum, a United Nations Sustainable Development Journal (NRF)

Natural Resources Forum, a United Nations Sustainable Development Journal, seeks to address gaps in current knowledge and stimulate relevant policy discussions, leading to the implementation of the sustainable development agenda and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. We accept submissions that deliver cutting edge research, which integrates the social, economic, and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. We quarterly publish articles that are original, scientifically strong and policy relevant and may inform policymakers through pragmatic, science-based lessons learned from experiences at the local, national and global levels. To ensure inclusivity in research and policy perspective, we especially encourage articles authored by women and underrepresented members of the global scholarly community. More details on NRF, including the contents of recent issues, can be found on the website of the journal's publisher, Wiley-Blackwell.
