By depleting soil nutrients, soil degradation (SD) threatens agricultural production and population growth in the Guinea savanna of Ghana. Awoonor et al., 2024 used multivariate statistical techniques on samples collected by using the Land Degradation Surveillance Framework (LDSF) to identify key SD processes, assess soil properties, and propose monitoring strategies. The authors highlight the need for integrated soil fertility management strategies, such as applying organic and inorganic fertilizers, to increase soil nutrient availability and promote sustainable agricultural practices.
The study investigates the cost of nutritionally adequate and low-GHGE diets in Finland, using optimization models. Minimum cost diets significantly reduce carbon footprints and expenses but lack diversity and cultural acceptability. The culturally acceptable diets, while slightly cheaper and with lower climate impact than current diets, highlight that affordability isn't the main barrier; cultural acceptability is. Reducing GHGE further decreases diet costs. The study concludes that sustainable dietary changes should focus on taste, convenience, and social norms alongside nutrition and affordability.
This study supports SDG 3 and 13 by showing that human activities will amplify future heat-related cardiovascular mortality burden, highlighting the significance of limiting greenhouse gas emissions and further warming of the planet.
The paper explores maritime environmental regulations, analyzing industry perspectives and their operational execution.
This One Earth Research Article documents how (mostly) European cities are planning to adapt to increasing heat risk due to climate change (SDG 13 & 11).
This One Earth Commentary discusses how policy makers could accelerate social change towards climate action (SDG 13) in their cities and communities (SDG 11) by reducing early inertia.

This chapter ties into Sustainable Development Goal 13: Climate Action by emphasizing the need for adaptation strategies in response to significant climate changes.
The International Day for Biodiversity (IDB) is celebrated every year on 22 May to raise awareness of the importance and value of biodiversity and to increase understanding of biodiversity issues. The theme of IDB 2024, “Be part of the Plan”, is a call to action for all stakeholders to halt and reverse the loss of biodiversity by supporting the implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, or the “The Biodiversity Plan”. To mark International Day for Biodiversity, Elsevier has curated a special collection of journal articles and book chapters exploring .

How society and people respond, and adapt to climate change is a psychological process.  Within this collection are papers that explore these different psychological responses from how this influen

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.
