⚠️ Scope Policy

Manuscripts submitted to ICESS 2026 must be clearly related to at least one of the thematic tracks above. Papers that are too general, outside the conference scope, or not directly connected to environmental innovation, circular economy, renewable energy transition, green technology, climate resilience, or environmental governance may be rejected during the initial editorial screening.
