This chapter explores how pollutants such as microplastics and oil spills disrupt marine microbial communities and ocean ecosystem health, highlighting the need to reduce marine pollution and protect biodiversity in line with SDG 14 (Life Below Water). By emphasizing the impacts of contaminants on aquatic environments and potential risks to human health, it also relates to SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation).
Aquatic Waste Valorization: Innovative Approaches and Sustainable Strategies: 2026, Pages 29-52
This chapter aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goal 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) and Goal 14 (Life Below Water) because it highlights how valorizing aquatic waste can reduce water pollution and protect aquatic ecosystems.
The RELX Environmental Challenge celebrates 15 years of supporting clean water and sanitation innovation, marking this significant milestone with an increase in the prize fund and the introduction of a new ocean category.
In this round up of 2025, we share the Special Collections published throughout the year to mark key UN observation days and events.
Drawing on insights from the United Nations 10-Member Group on Science, Technology, and Innovation for the SDGs, Beyond 2030 reviews the framework’s achievements to date and delivers critical insights into how the SDGs can guide global cooperation and decisive local action well beyond 2030.
This content aligns with SDG 3 and 12: This chapter discusses the potential use of microorganisms (bacteria, microalgae, and zooplankton) to substitute high value foods such as fish meal, fish oil, and plant-based supplements.
This chapter supports UN SDG 13 (Climate Action), SDG 14 (Life Below Water), and SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being) by examining global trends and complex drivers of harmful algal blooms (HABs), which are influenced by climate variability and environmental changes. By highlighting the need for integrative research to understand and mitigate HAB outbreaks, it contributes to protecting marine ecosystems and reducing health risks associated with algal toxins.
More than 800 people from over 75 countries came together virtually on 3rd June 2025 for the eleventh edition of the RELX SDG Inspiration Day: "The Future of Philanthropy: Stepping up for the SDGs" The annual online event brings together together business, academia, NGOs and government to explore pressing issues and inspire action on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Explore highlights from the day including inspiring keynotes from Ban Ki-moon, 8th Secretary General of the United Nations, Sir Lenny Henry and Sarah, Duchess of York.
