About this Research Topic
This Research Topic highlights the voices of the leaders of Frontiers in Environmental Science with a collection of opinion pieces which illuminate the pressing questions and challenges the field faces in the decade ahead. These contributions critically assess the current landscape and future direction of each sub-discipline represented by our journal, exploring the following key points:
• Burning Questions: What is the most pressing question facing your research field, and why does it demand immediate attention?
• Policy Gaps: Are there existing or emerging policy gaps that could hinder progress in addressing these questions? How can these gaps be bridged to create a more cohesive and effective policy framework?
• Future Challenges: What challenges are anticipated in the coming decade, and how can the scientific community prepare to tackle them collectively?
• Strategy for Solutions: What innovative strategies, collaborations, or technologies can be leveraged to address these burning questions and future challenges?
Submissions in this Research Topic will come directly from the Chief Editors of each specialty section, aiming to foster a holistic dialogue that positions the journal with a multidisciplinary vision, to look ahead to the next ten years.
Each contribution provides insights and proposes potential pathways to navigate upcoming challenges. This collective brainstorming effort serves as a roadmap for shaping the research, policy, and innovation directions in each section.
