Environmental Health Behavior: Concepts, Determinants, and Impacts, Volume , 1 January 2024

This chapter aligns with UN SDG goals 11 by discussing how smart cities can influence health determinants and quality of life in sustainable communities.

Radiative cooling (RC) has been an attractive electricity-free approach to reducing the energy consumption of buildings. Current RC strategies focus on roofs; however, limited attention has been paid to vertical walls. Here, we report a zigzag-based structural design with asymmetric emissivity to realize optimal RC walls.

This knowledge encompasses information about the local environment, including farming patterns, soil types, weather patterns, and other natural resources. Such indigenous agricultural practices are valuable methods, and these communities have illustrated the effectiveness, adaptability, and ways in which these adopted methods promote sustainable environmental management.
Findings relating to the level of awareness of agricultural radio programmes in the three selected states show that more farmers in Nasarawa State are aware of agricultural programmes than those from the other states.

Advances in Energy from Waste: Transformation Methods, Applications and Limitations Under Sustainability, Woodhead Advances in Pollution Research, 2024, Pages 225-279

This chapter ties into Sustainable Development Goal 11, Sustainable Development Goal 12, and Sustainable Development Goal 13 by focusing on designing sustainable waste management systems for smart cities, which enhances urban sustainability and resilience, by discussing AI-based waste management systems that optimize recycling, resource recovery, and efficient waste handling, promoting sustainable consumption and production patterns, and by exploring AI’s role in carbon emission assessment and energy transition processes, contributing to efforts to combat climate change and its impacts.
This case study illustrates how the effects of climate change at locations remote from the city could impact resilience of urban communities in multiple ways through cascading effects through the food-water-energy nexus.

The study of the sedimentary record at the mouth of the Sabarmati River in the Gulf of Khambhat provides insights into how changes in climate, sea level, and sedimentation patterns over the Holocene period impacted the environment and ancient human settlements in the region, which is relevant for understanding climate change and its effects.
This year’s RELX SDG Inspiration Day will bring together global AI leaders, corporate representatives, investors, government, and NGOs to explore issues, gain practical insights and be inspired to take action in support of the Global Goals. Elsevier is proud to share this special collection of articles and chapters in celebration of this event.
