We are excited to announce the launch of the inaugural issue of the Journal of Environmental Science, Health & Sustainability, the flagship publication of Enviro Mind Solutions (EnMS). This launch marks the beginning of our commitment toward advancing high-quality interdisciplinary research at the intersection of environmental science, sustainability, and One Health. The journal aims to serve as a platform for innovative studies that tackle emerging global environmental challenges, leveraging state-of-the-art techniques such as remote sensing for data collection, geospatial artificial intelligence and hydrogeological modeling for data analytics and decision-making. We aim to catalyze impactful research that informs policy, guides sustainable practices, and fosters a global research community committed to transformative environmental solutions. Our first issue features insightful research that reflects the journal’s mission and sets the foundation for future contributions. Through the dissemination of impactful studies that inform policy and practice, we aim to foster a strong, collaborative research community and drive meaningful solutions for a sustainable future.
