This Backstory highlights how justice issues in sustainability often remain overlooked or are addressed by social scientists, and advocates for a more inclusive, interdisciplinary approach that incorporates diverse perspectives to better integrate justice considerations into sustainability research and foster equitable, holistic solutions.
No net biodiversity loss is a key goal of many green energy projects. The authors argue that indirect benefits to biodiversity should not be included in no-net-loss calculations.
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 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 paper systematically reviews the current state-of-the-art and future perspectives of AI in battery research and applications for EVs.
Climate change health risks in cities can be addressed with vulnerability reduction.
Holocene Palaeoenvironmental change at the mouth of Sabarmati River, Gulf of Khambhat, Western India
Quaternary Environments and Humans, Volume 2, Issue 5, October 2024, 100016
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.
Rohingya women displaced in Bangladesh demonstrate tremendous resilience in the face of severe gender restrictions and risks to personal safety exacerbated by climate change. They have employed information and communication technologies to share health information and resources, resist restrictions on their mobility, and forge new opportunities for themselves; efforts that contributed to controlling the risk of COVID-19 transmission within the camp in early 2020 and generating an innovative early-warning system to combat disasters exacerbated by climate change.
Interconnections between challenges due to climate change.
