New Elsevier journal "Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions" edited by ICTA members (van den Bergh and Kallis).

Solving pressing resource scarcity and environmental problems, notably related to fossil energy use and climate change, requires a combination of technical, institutional and social innovations and even fundamental changes in our societies. A new journal has been founded to address this important research line. It will be published by Elsevier and carry the title Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions (EIST). The journal intends to report the results of fundamental and applied research on solutions and policies responding to environmental problems that take the form of innovation in a broad sense. It will be open to a wide range of disciplines and research approaches. The journal is associated with the Sustainability Transitions Research Network (STRN), which can be joined free of charge (http://www.transitionsnetwork.org). The editorial team includes editor-in-chief Jeroen van den Bergh (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and ICREA, Spain, and VU University Amsterdam, The Netherlands) and associate editors Giorgos Kallis (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and ICREA, Spain) and Bernhard Truffer (University of Berne and Eawag - Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology, Switzerland). A first issue on the interface of innovation, socio-technical transitions and environmental policy is planned with short essays by internationally reputed researchers. Authors can submit papers online at http://ees.elsevier.com/eist. The aim is to offer a very quick review procedure.
