Professor Jonas Baltrusaitis wasselected as the inaugural Editor-in-Chief and will be working with the outstanding researchers from the Editorial Board who are co-authors of this editorial to make this journal a leader in sustainability science and technology research. Together, this Sus Sci Tech team will use their diverse background and expertise to provide insight, vision and guidance to the journal and its authors.
