The RELX SDG Inspiration Day 2025 focuses on the role of philanthropy in bridging the funding gap to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals, featuring insights from prominent thought leaders. To commemorate this event, Elsevier has curated a free Special Collection with the latest research on philanthropy and the SDGs.
Agriculture faces the increasing demands of a growing global population amid simultaneous challenges to soils from climate change and human-induced contamination.
The ecological intensification index (EII) is a new tool that helps balance agricultural productivity with environmental sustainability by quantifying both crop yields and ecological services like soil carbon storage. It guides farmers and policymakers in adopting practices that maximize food production while minimizing ecological damage, supporting sustainable agriculture in a changing climate.
This review evaluates how AI-driven solutions, especially generative AI, can enhance urban energy resilience to help power systems adapt to and recover from extreme weather events and energy crises. By improving energy efficiency, reliability, and robustness, this approach directly supports the transition to carbon neutrality, which is essential for limiting global temperature increase and mitigating the impacts of climate change.
Climate change threatens global food security by reducing crop yields and increasing environmental stresses, requiring urgent innovation in crop resilience through advanced breeding, genetic engineering, and sustainable practices. To succeed, global collaboration, streamlined regulations, public engagement, and integrating field and lab research are essential for developing adaptable, climate-resilient crops that ensure a sustainable food future.

The Future of Philanthropy: Stepping up for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
Corporate Responsibility (CR) starts with the positive impact RELX has on society through our products and services.
This study explores nanostructured MOF-composite membranes as a promising technology for enhanced CO2 capture, highlighting improved gas separation performance, stability, and scalability while addressing challenges like regeneration and sustainability through advanced synthesis and modeling approaches.
This article examines the exposures and health impacts experienced by female sugarcane workers in Guatemala, focusing on heat stress, particulate matter exposure, and kidney function. The key findings indicate that these women face elevated levels of heat and particulate matter at work, leading to dehydration and reduced kidney function. The study highlights the need for gender-responsive interventions to address the unique health risks faced by women in agricultural settings.
