This study compares traditional Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) and emerging water electrolysis methods (PEMEC and SOEC) for ammonia production, evaluating their economic viability and CO2 emissions under varying electricity prices and carbon intensities. Results show that PEMEC is most cost-effective at very low electricity prices, SOEC gains competitiveness as prices rise, and SMR is preferable above 0.08 €/kWhe, with CO2 emissions depending heavily on electricity carbon intensity; projections indicate SOEC will become highly cost-competitive by 2030–2040.

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.

The authors consider the use of graphene-based materials and technologies for the treatment of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) - persistent and toxic chemicals that contaminate water sources - in water.

This article presents the hydroclimatic changes in the Tibetan Plateau, emphasizing the delicate balance between precipitation and evaporative demand in streamflow dynamics.

This review explores the reciprocal relationship between climate change and its impact on health, as well as the environment.

This mixed transdisciplinary study developed a WEF nexus-based framework to guide strategic policy decisions to catalyze progress toward achieving sustainable development goals.

The article demonstrates that while healthier diets often align with reduced environmental impacts in several domains, significant trade-offs exist, particularly regarding water use and cost. Diet quality indexes that emphasize plant-based foods offer the most consistent sustainability benefits. However, no diet pattern is without drawbacks, underscoring the importance of nuanced, multidimensional assessments and the integration of nutrition and sustainability data to inform effective policy and clear public guidance.

Heatwaves driven by climate change significantly increase the frequency and duration of power outages in China, with projected future increases emphasizing the need for grid upgrades and adaptive strategies.

This study shows that climate change
has significantly decreased crop yields and heightened food insecurity in sub-Saharan Africa, and although adaptation strategies provide some relief, major challenges persist, highlighting the need for targeted resilience policies.

Climate change is significantly altering the air we breathe by increasing both harmful pollutants and allergens that affect human health. Rising temperatures and elevated CO2 levels are creating longer, more intense pollen seasons while also increasing ground-level ozone, particulate matter, and other respiratory irritants. These changes disproportionately impact vulnerable populations worldwide, leading to increased respiratory infections, asthma exacerbations, and allergic diseases, making climate change not just an environmental issue but a direct threat to public health .
