Dear Members,

I am writing with deep gratitude and humility following the acceptance of my manuscript in Environmental and Sustainability Indicators. It is an honor to contribute to a journal that holds such high impact and relevance in the field of sustainability science.

As an early-career researcher who has just completed my Master’s degree in Geography, I currently do not have access to institutional or grant-based funding. My research was conducted independently, driven by a strong commitment to environmental policy and geospatial modeling. The accepted paper presents a rigorous, location-specific framework for installing sustainable strategic plans—an output I believe aligns closely with the journal’s mission to advance actionable sustainability indicators.

Given my financial constraints, I kindly request a full waiver of the Article Processing Charges (APC). This support would not only enable the publication of my work but also empower me to continue contributing to the global dialogue on climate resilience and sustainable development.

I am deeply invested in the scientific and policy impact of this research, and I hope the editorial board will consider this request favorably. I would be happy to provide any additional documentation or context if needed.

Thank you for your time, consideration, and for fostering a platform that uplifts voices working toward a more sustainable future.
