This chapter supports SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) by exploring how nanotechnology can improve sustainable agricultural practices, improving productivity and resource efficiency. It also aligns with SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) by promoting green nanotechnology approaches that minimize environmental impact in agriculture.

This chapter aligns with SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) by promoting environmentally friendly and sustainable nanotechnology practices that reduce risks to humans and ecosystems. It also supports SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) through advancing innovative, cost-effective, and green nanomaterials for diverse industrial applications.

Drawing inspiration from recent European Union agricultural and environmental policy reforms, this study examines the barriers between scientific advancements, farm-scale applications, and the implementation of agricultural policies.

This paper highlights the potential of engineered mineral carbonation to transform cement and concrete into effective carbon sinks by enhancing CO2 storage while maintaining material performance, emphasizing the use of alkaline industrial residues and carbonatable binders. It proposes a strategic roadmap integrating scientific innovation, regulation, and carbon accounting to promote climate-positive construction.

This study investigates the use of problem-based learning (PBL) by geography teachers in Northwest Ethiopia to address deforestation and climate change education.

This study investigated social, cultural, and environmental barriers to renewable energy (RE) adoption in Africa and found diverse, affordable payment schemes boost RE adoption rates.

The study demonstrates that adopting more climate-friendly diets, which typically involve reduced animal-based food consumption and lower absolute micronutrient intakes, does not substantially increase the risk of micronutrient deficiencies for most nutrients. These findings underscore the importance of assessing both dietary intake and actual nutrient status when evaluating the nutritional consequences of sustainable eating patterns, supporting the potential health and environmental benefits of shifting toward climate-friendly diets.

Low-income citizens show the highest support for food labeling and educational campaigns, viewing them as effective and less intrusive, while taxation and checkout prompts are least accepted due to perceived invasiveness. Policy support is strongly influenced by perceived effectiveness, intrusiveness, and individuals’ existing behaviors, suggesting tailored approaches are needed to improve acceptance and impact.
