This chapter aligns with SDGs 7, 11, and 10, by offering a case study on renewable energy and rural electrification in Ecuador, in the context of socioeconomic challenges and climate change, whilst also drawing on other examples from developing countries elsewhere.

This article presents a heat-pump-coupled sorbent system to simultaneously harvest water from air and regulate indoor environments, addressing global challenges related to water scarcity and energy-efficient air conditioning.
The article provides an overview of metal-organic framework (MOF)-based composite adsorbents for atmospheric water harvesting, discussing the hydrolytic stability of MOFs, recent advances in sorption-based water harvesting devices, and the challenges and prospects of MOF-based composite adsorbents. Key points include compositing MOFs with other functional materials to address limitations in water adsorption capacity and energy-intensive regeneration, and the factors affecting the hydrolytic stability of MOFs.

Daytime radiative cooling and photovoltaic energy generation are poorly compatible, as they have competing physical demands. Here, a transmission-based radiative cooling system is integrated with solar cells, allowing simultaneous cooling and photovoltaic power generation in sunny weather.
This Viewpoint issues a multidisciplinary call to embed sustainability into anticoagulation care, aligning clinical excellence with climate responsibility.
