New Solutions

Aims & Scope

NEW SOLUTIONS: A Journal of Environmental and Occupational Health Policy (NEW) is a peer-reviewed journal that stands at the intersection of health, work, and the environment.

It attempts to both define the issues and offer perspectives for change.

New Solutions’ voice is progressive, experienced, challenging.

The quarterly’s contributors are scientists and policy-makers in academia and government, unionists on the shop floor, environmentalists in their many habitats, and advocates and activists on the streets, all well placed to see what works and what doesn’t in policies for sustainable development.

In recognition of the globalization of health problems, environmental issues and economic activity, the Journal strives for an international focus.

It investigates problems of occupational and environmental health with the people at risk—the workers and the community—uppermost in mind.
