Aims & Scope

The Natural Resources Journal (NRJ) at the University of New Mexico School of Law seeks academic articles for its Summer 2018 issue, Volume 58.2, on energy, environment, and natural resources law and policy. Suggested topics include: sustainable development and extractive industries; energy regulation; sustainable finance; trade and the environment; environmental and climate justice; environmental security; disaster law; indigenous rights; resilient communities; business and human rights; land, agriculture, and food systems; social-ecological systems; and political-economic, institutional, and jurisprudential analysis. Lean More --> The Natural Resources Journal (NRJ) is published by the University of New Mexico School of Law and is an international, interdisciplinary forum devoted to the study of natural and environmental resources. The Journal is policy oriented, and seeks to overcome the isolation of scholars in various disciplines who are concerned with natural and environmental resources. Interdisciplinary collaboration in solving resource-related problems was a formative principle in the creation of the Journal and, for 50 years, the Journal has been guided by that principle. The NRJ's contributors come from various disciplines, represent many countries, and provide many approaches to the complex issues raised by the need to balance resource development and environmental concerns.
