The NEW Community is anchored by two flagship journals, Biochar and Carbon Research, and collaborates with a network of academic journals, including Agricultural Ecology and Environment, Artificial Intelligence & Environment, Biochar X, Biocontaminant, Energy & Environment Nexus, Environmental and Biogeochemical Processes, New Contaminants, Nitrogen Cycling, Sustainable Carbon Materials, and Lignin Research.

The community focuses on cutting-edge interdisciplinary research in biochar, carbon science, emerging contaminants, sustainable materials, agricultural ecology, nitrogen cycling, energy, and environmental sciences. Guided by the core principles of "Sharing, Collaboration, and Innovation", it aims to foster an inclusive global academic network through regular events, workshops, and conferences, facilitating knowledge exchange, advancing interdisciplinary collaboration, and exploring innovative pathways toward carbon neutrality and environmental health.
