- The International Review for Environmental Strategies (IRES) is a peer-reviewed biannual journal aimed at disseminating strategically oriented environmental research to the world. Its scope is global, although it gives priority to issues of special concern to the Asia-Pacific region. Guided by the principles of timeliness and accessibility, the journal publishes original, high-quality papers that take multidisciplinary, integrated approaches to sustainable development. In doing so, it seeks to promote and facilitate dialogue between stakeholders. The papers are evaluated, considering policy relevance, uniqueness, factual basis and methodology. The journal is published in English in order to reach a broad audience; however, papers are reviewed in terms of quality and utility, rather than for language proficiency.
