The authors present a holistic research agenda for sustainable computing that aims to reduce the carbon emissions associated with the manufacture and operation of future computer systems, a pressing objective given computing’s rapid growth in emerging applications such as artificial intelligence. The agenda integrates ideas in software design, hardware architecture, renewable energy infrastructure, power and carbon accounting, and economic policy.
This chapter supports UN SDGs 7, 11, and 12 by highlighting the integration of renewable energy sources, smart grids, and energy-efficient technologies in smart cities to promote sustainability and reduce environmental impact; addressing challenges of urbanization and promoting inclusive, resilient, and adaptive urban development; and discussing waste management practices, such as recycling and waste-to-energy initiatives, that contribute to a more circular economy and sustainable resource management in cities.

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.

This study finds that optimal placement of long-duration energy storage in renewable-heavy power systems depends on multiple interacting factors—such as generation, demand, storage, and transmission—and cannot be determined by any single metric, with siting decisions having system-wide effects.

Hydrogen Production, Transportation, Storage, and Utilization: Theoretical and Practical Aspects, 2025, Pages 417-501

The chapter supports multiple UN SDGs—particularly SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), SDG 13 (Climate Action), and SDG 17 (Partnerships)—by emphasizing the transition to sustainable hydrogen solutions, advancing infrastructure, promoting innovation, and highlighting the importance of international collaboration to achieve a low-carbon energy future.

This study shows that the growth of fossil-fuel-powered vehicles significantly contributes to rising carbon dioxide levels and global warming, and suggests that investing in clean energy vehicles and implementing effective policies are crucial to reducing climate change and promoting sustainable development. As part of the research, the authors develop a new mathematical model to analyze the impact of fossil fuel vehicle emissions on atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and global warming.
