Even if The Journal of Health, Environment, & Education has been relaunched in 2014 as an open access and peer reviewed journal, it does have a long tradition.

Since 2008, selected manuscripts concerning Health, Environment, and Education have been published online and under free access. Earlier, the Journal was named Health, Environment, & Education (till 2013), The Electronic Journal of Health and Environment (till 2012) as well as Umwelt & Gesundheit Online (since 2008).

Most manuscripts have been derived from presentations held at the Annual Conference of the International Consortium for Interdisciplinary Education about Health and the Environment.
