Plastic waste is a mounting environmental problem, and heterogeneous catalysts offer a promising route to upcycling such waste into useful products. This article reviews the chemistry underlying such processes.
The study reveals that achieving both environmental sustainability and nutrient adequacy in the diets of children and adolescents is challenging, as diets richer in nutrients tend to have a greater ecological footprint. While there is some evidence of recent improvements in diet-related environmental indicators, substantial capacity for change remains. The article calls for targeted interventions and population-specific dietary guidelines that consider both health and environmental impacts, particularly for vulnerable youth populations. More comprehensive research is needed to develop sustainable dietary strategies that do not compromise essential nutrition for growing children and adolescents.

This content aligns with Goals 11, 12, and 13 by explaining how indigenous technical knowledge can enhance and complement OF: (1) biodiversity and traditional seeds, (2) ecosystem integration, (3) natural pest and disease management (4) soil health and fertility, (5) cultural and spiritual significance, (6) community engagement and decision, and (7) climate resilience.

This article examines the development of a Nature Farming (NF) system standard for poultry production in Brazil, aiming to better communicate the sustainability attributes of NF products throughout the supply chain. Through qualitative research with various stakeholders, the study highlights the unique environmental, economic, social, ethical, and health dimensions of NF poultry and proposes clearer labeling and certification standards. The findings suggest that establishing a dedicated NF standard can enhance product differentiation, improve consumer communication, and support sustainable supply chain management.
In this study, the authors analyse alternative pembrolizumab administration strategies that might have environmental advantages over the current dosing and compounding paradigms (improved environmental sustainability without sacrificing clinical outcomes)

This research has uncovered the conflicts between solar-energy development and the conservation of threatened bird species. A comprehensive analysis has revealed that a staggering 97.4% of regions with significant solar-energy potential overlap with the ranges of multiple endangered bird species. Even more alarming is the fact that over 17.0% of these areas are home to at least 10 threatened bird species. These findings highlight the urgent need to address the potential negative impacts of solar-energy projects on avian biodiversity.

In the pursuit of improving engine performance and mitigating emissions, researchers have explored the intriguing domain of fuel blends incorporating butanol and gasoline. This innovative study aims to unravel the intricate dynamics between butanol and gasoline when utilized as a blended fuel in internal combustion engines. The current study integrates cutting-edge techniques such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Response Surface Methodology (RSM) for the optimization of engine performance.
In this episode of the "World We Want" podcast, Márcia Balisciano interviews Marty Odlin, Founder and CEO, Running Tide. They discuss Running Tide's business model and how it plans to mitigate ocean acidification while remaining self-sustainable in the long run.
This content aligns with SDG 2: Zero hunger, and SDG 13: Climate action by covering how the media communicates the challenge of feeding more people and reducing climate impact at the same time.
