This chapter advances the UN SDG goals 8, 9, and 11 by exploring how AI can be utilized by city officials to improve quality of life in sustainable cities.

We observe the link between Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We use automated methodologies to find insights and overlaps between AI and the SDGs. AI-Ethics frameworks need to give more attention to Society and Environment areas. Inclusive action is needed to balance the efforts for solving SDGs by using AI.SDGs 13, 14, and 15 (all related to the Environment area) are not sufficiently addressed.

This study provides an assessment of land surface temperature across North, South, and Northwest China in relation to urbanization.

This article supports SDGs 9, 11, and 17 by illustrating the opportunity for the use of electric powered vehicles as an energy source during natural disaster events.

This article supports SDG 11 introducing innovative practice for urban development projects.

This chapter advances UN SDG goal 7 as it enables improved energy forecasting, which is a critical technology for distributed generation and renewable energy integration.

This chapter aligns with Goal 6: Clean water and sanitation by reviewing the role of nanostructured materials as a promising alternative to conventional methods and is effective in eliminating water and wastewater contaminants, such as inorganics (toxic metals), organics, and microorganisms.

This chapter aligns with SDGs 7 and 11, by describing the role and possibilities of wave energy to help support global (sustainable) energy systems.

This chapter aligns with Goal 6: Clean water and sanitation by reviewing the most effective uses of carbon nanotubes for water treatment.

This chapter aligns with Goal 6: Clean water and sanitation by discussing existing knowledge on different categories of biobased materials as biosorbents for wastewater treatment and giving future perspectives for the development of advanced biobased materials capable of overcoming drawbacks from the existing ones.
