IJGW aims to bring all disciplines together for local/global solutions to combat global warming and its consequences. It focuses around nine main pillars: better remediation, avoidance, efficiency, cost effectiveness, design, resource utilisation, environmental quality, energy security, and sustainable development. It also address issues related to global changes as a direct/indirect result of climate modification and strategies for adaptation to such changes. IJGW covers disciplines as diverse as engineering, climate science, ecology, economics, education, management, information sciences, politics, strategy development, etc.
Topics covered include
- Atmospheric changes, acid precipitation, aerosols, ozone depletion, smog
- Biofuels and alternatives, carbon sequestration, carbon tax
- Climate change modelling/simulation
- Climate networks, weather forecasts/scenarios
- Earth sciences, ecology, ecosystems, biodiversity
- Energy/environment policies/strategies/security/technologies
- Global warming modelling/simulation
- Engineering tools, IT, green design/manufacturing
- Greenhouse gases, emissions and control, exergetic improvements
- Human health/welfare issues, education/training
- Hurricanes and climatic/catastrophic events, deforestation
- Renewables, hydrogen/nuclear/other cleaner energy resources/technologies
- Solid/municipal wastes, waste management
- Sustainable development, economy, environment and health
- Urban/regional planning, water/water issues, food and agriculture
Objectives
The objectives of IJGW are to establish an effective channel of communication between professionals, academics, researchers, scientists, engineers, and policymakers in academia and research institutions, government agencies, all sectors (industrial, residential, commercial, governmental, transportation, utilities, etc.), and other private organisations with a common goal to understand global warming and its consequences and bring local and global solutions to these. It also aims to promote and coordinate developments in the field of global warming and global change. The dimension of the journal is diverse and global because of the nature of the topic on global warming and global changes.
Readership
IJGW provides a vehicle to help professionals, academics, researchers, scientists, engineers and policymakers, working in the fields of energy, environment, and sustainable development with a primary focus on bringing local and global solutions to global warming and its global changes, to disseminate information and to learn from each other's work.
Contents
IJGW publishes high-quality original papers, review articles, and technical notes in the area of global warming, covering a diverse range of topics and problems related but not limited to energy, environment, ecology, climate, economy, fuels, social and physical infrastructure, clean and green technologies, sustainable development, policy and strategy development, etc., with a common goal of addressing an issue or bringing a solution to the issue. Those pertaining to modelling, theory, analysis, computational methods and simulations, design, experiments, visualisation and measurement techniques are also appropriate for the journal. IJGW will also include letters to the editor, book reviews, an events calendar, etc.

How green is your t-shirt?
12 June, 2023
Research in the International Journal of Global Warming has looked at the study, the carbon footprint of t-shirts made from different materials. The textile and clothing industry is vast and so has a significant impact on climate change through gathering resources, processing and manufacturing of products, and supply to the market. The team undertaking the work is based at Zhejiang Sci-Tech University in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China, and examines the entire lifecycle of these popular garments whether made from the wholly natural fibre, cotton, the semi-synthetic material viscose, or entirely synthetic polyester. They consider the various stages from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal [...]
More details...SMEs can't afford to chill in the face of heatwaves
25 July, 2023
As the world attempts to cope with the increasing frequency of intense heatwaves, soaring temperatures, wildfires, and extreme weather events that affect lives and livelihoods, communities and businesses have to adapt to cope with the undeniable. One area of concern is the vulnerability of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to these extremes. Now, research in the International Journal of Global Warming, has focused on a particularly vulnerable region in the developing world, Visakhapatnam, India, in order to identify what measures are crucial to the necessary adaptation. The team, Hrishikesh Mahadev Rayadurgam and Prakash Rao of the Symbiosis Institute of International Business at Symbiosis International (Deemed to be University) in Hinjewadi, Pune, India, have used statistical modelling to delve into the factors contributing to the susceptibility of SMEs to problems arising from extreme heatwaves. The team's findings offer new insights, highlighting the factors that affect risk to SMEs and suggesting ways to mitigate the problems such companies face [...]
