IJGW的目標是將所有學科結合起來，為當地/全球應對全球變暖及其后果提供解決方案。它集中于九個主要支柱:更好的修復、避免、效率、成本效益、設計、資源利用、環境質量、能源安全和可持續發展。它還討論了作為氣候變化的直接/間接結果而引起的與全球變化有關的問題和適應這些變化的戰略。IJGW涵蓋了工程、氣候科學、生態學、經濟學、教育學、管理學、信息科學、政治學、戰略發展等多個學科。

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.
