About this journal
Aims and scope
The Journal of Environmental Economics and Policy (JEEP) publishes original papers on applied environmental economics and economic evaluation of environmental policy. Economic reviews of environmental policy as well as literature reviews will also be considered.
We encourage submissions on environmental issues relating to all economic sectors and human health and wellbeing and all economic analyses. The following are some examples:
- Sectors including agriculture, energy, forestry, green & blue infrastructure, land use & planning (urban, rural and conservation), recreation & tourism, transport, waste management and recycling, and water supply and wastewater management.
- Issues including air quality, climate change mitigation and adaptation, ecosystem services, environment and human health, noise, and wildlife and habitat management and conservation.
- Economic analyses including appraisal & evaluation, emissions trading, market and non-market valuation, sustainable development, sustainable procurement, taxation, and value (benefit) transfer.
JEEP is the official journal of the UK Network of Environmental Economists

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication. However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
For more details, please read the Author Services guide to understanding journal metrics.

Society information
The UK Network of Environmental Economists (UKNEE) brings together environmental economists from academia, consultancy, public and private sectors and NGOs to foster closer relationships, follow recent developments and share experience.
UKNEE organises seminars on topical subjects in environmental economics followed by social evenings. And once a year, it hosts envecon: Applied Environmental Economics Conference. Further information on envecon can be found here: https://www.uknee.org.uk/
Economists from around the world need to work collaboratively to put economics into good use and UKNEE wishes to play its part in this. This is why although UKNEE is based in the UK, its activities are open to everyone. Its events regularly feature papers and speakers from outside the UK. Such participation is actively encouraged.
Members of UKNEE are eligible to receive online subscription to Journal of Environmental Economics and Policy as part of their membership package as well as free attendance to online envecon and webinars, and having exclusive access to their recordings for the year.
