The Journal of Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems – JSDEWES is an international journal dedicated to the improvement and dissemination of knowledge on methods, policies and technologies for increasing the sustainability of development by de-coupling growth from natural resources and replacing them with knowledge based economy, taking into account its economic, environmental and social pillars, as well as methods for assessing and measuring sustainability of development, regarding energy, transport, water, environment and food production systems and their many combinations.

Achieving Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environmental Systems is the most important societal challenge of present and future societies. The main goal of the Journal of Sustainable Development Indicators (JSDI) is to provide a wide platform for promoting research on sustainability while assessing the sustainable development through many standardised and conventional but also unconventional and innovative matrices. The published papers in JSDI will need to show the extent to which the presented results address UN Sustainable Development Goals or other important existing and potential issues that impact the well-being of a community or society as a whole.

The Journal of Sustainable Development of Natural Resources Management (JSDNAREMA) is an international interdisciplinary journal dedicated to improving and disseminating the knowledge on theory, methods, policies and technologies for increasing the sustainable use and management of natural resources. This journal mainly publishes innovative outcomes and relevant academic reviews in the field of resource science, reports the latest research results, introduces the cutting-edge trends of the discipline, and serves to establish and develop the theoretical system of resource science and promote the sustainable utilization and management of resources worldwide, regarding land, marine, water, energy, climate, society, economy, food their many combinations.

The Journal of Sustainable Development of Smart Energy Networks aims at establishing an open platform for the dissemination of research findings in the field of design of resilient and robust energy networks powered by variable renewable energy sources (wind, solar, etc). Novel paradigms, based on advanced and smart energy storage systems, demand-response strategies, and sector coupling, are crucial topics to be addressed. In this framework, the Journal of Sustainable Development of Smart Energy Networks is open to accept papers discussing the recent innovations regarding the technologies and strategies allowing one to improve grid balance. Here, Power-to-X (PtX) technologies play a relevant role in grid balancing, energy storage and the water-energy nexus. PtX technologies offer a pathway to convert excess renewable energy, which might otherwise be wasted, into storable and versatile forms such as hydrogen, synthetic fuels, heat, and water, thereby contributing to grid stability and increased system flexibility. Similarly, novel and advanced renewable technologies, suitable for their integration in the future energy networks, will be analysed and discussed to assess their future technical and economic feasibility. On the user side, the Journal of Sustainable Development of Smart Energy Networks is open to discuss all the technologies and strategies to reduce user energy consumption and to mitigate the phase shift between renewable production and user demand. Special attention will be paid to the user demands for space heating and cooling, analyzing in detail the possible technologies to be implemented to improve energy efficiency in buildings, such as: heat pumps, refurbishment of building envelope, the integration of electric heavy and light vehicles, etc.
