Climate and weather can seriously affect water quality. We must consider the impacts of climate change on water quality throughout the world.

The energy transition will require new technology for clean energy. Many of those technologies require the use of critical metals which are nonrenewable and must be used responsibly and sustainably.

This chapter relates to the energy transition and renewable fuels for global energy demands. UN SDG Goal 7

This chapter covers the basics of sustainable development and climate-related problems and gives a comprehensive overview of the 17 UN sustainable development goals.

This chapter advances Goals 13 and 16 by discussing how the book demonstrates “textbook” cases of energy violence using an empirical approach highlighting (1) spatial and temporal evidence and (2) ecological and societal impacts across global and local scales, including frontline communities.

This chapter advances Goals 13 and 9 by examining the effects of climate change and the relationship with the Arctic based on the perspective of professionals working on climate change and Arctic issues.

This chapter advances Goal 13 by educating politicians, industry experts, and researchers on the significance of shifting toward sustainable energy solutions by offering a thorough examination of essential elements and discussing possible obstacles.

This chapter notably supports SDGs 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), 12 (Responsible Consumption), and 13 (Climate Action) by helping readers to understand the interactions between energy consumption, emissions, and climate, and by introducing modeling approaches.

This chapter aligns with SDGs 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and 17 (Partnerships for the Goals) by highlighting the roles of smart grids, renewable energy communities, information, and digitization, requiring technological, research, and political collaboration, in advancing the energy transition.

This chapter ties into Sustainable Development Goal 13: Climate Action by focusing on the assessment and quantification of resilience to manage climate change risks and enhance adaptive capacity. By exploring methodologies, models, and real-world case studies, it provides valuable insights for stakeholders to effectively incorporate resilience metrics and climate change effects into research and policy.
