Accomplishing the sustainable development goal is challenging and requires the joint effort of the whole community, especially when humans are approaching the climate tipping point [1]. To contribute to promoting sustainable development, the AISDL Team has aggregated reliable and open-access scientific journals about environmental issues here as sources of knowledge for any interested researchers.

These sources of knowledge are valuable for the AISDL Team to pursue our 30-year goal: “Accomplishing the semiconducting principle by endorsing the 11th progressive cultural element – environmental-healing value – and building the eco-surplus culture” [2-4]. Hopefully, the aggregated list of journals will also aid the community in the knowledge-generation process that serves the goal of sustainable development.
