World-class universities (WCUs) are key players in promoting global sustainability. This study shows that WCU's contributions to global sustainability can be seen in five different dimensions: education and research, outreach and engagement, campus operation and transportation, landscapes and ecosystems, and global leadership and impact evaluation.

This article maps out the magnitude of conflicts between land use and renewable energy.

Biodiversity and climate change are deeply linked, with biodiversity regulating climate and climate impacting habitats, yet this link is often overlooked in policy. Our study emphasizes integrating climate mitigation into conservation to preserve ecosystem services, even if protected area goals are met.

This One Earth Research Article shows how increasing urbanization & land use change is contributing to warmer temperatures at regional and continental scales. The results have important implications regarding the need for climate mitigation and adaptation (SDG 13), urban planning (SDG 11) and the terrestrial biosphere (SDG 15).

This article focuses on numerous plot, field, and regional scale studies conducted in the Critical Zone Observatories (CZO) facilities distributed across the China Loess Plateau (CLP). The CLP CZO features the world's largest and deepest loess deposits, highly disturbed by human activities, and consists of a longitudinal series of monitoring sites.

This paper highlights the importance for conservation biologists and on-the-ground practitioners to engage more with local pastoralists to tackle the complex and infrequently described conflicts on how best to implement protective policies.

This knowledge encompasses information about the local environment, including farming patterns, soil types, weather patterns, and other natural resources. Such indigenous agricultural practices are valuable methods, and these communities have illustrated the effectiveness, adaptability, and ways in which these adopted methods promote sustainable environmental management.
