Pesticide residues in freshwater threaten water sustainability, but the global discrepancies in freshwater pesticide contamination remain uncertain.

This review examines how artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and the Internet of Things (IOT) improve thermal efficiency, enable real-time system monitoring, and support predictive maintenance across solar, wind, geothermal, and bioenergy applications.

To mark its 20th anniversary, the Elsevier Foundation has released an impact report highlighting its key partnerships and achievements.

This study shows that the growth of fossil-fuel-powered vehicles significantly contributes to rising carbon dioxide levels and global warming, and suggests that investing in clean energy vehicles and implementing effective policies are crucial to reducing climate change and promoting sustainable development. As part of the research, the authors develop a new mathematical model to analyze the impact of fossil fuel vehicle emissions on atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and global warming.

This article presents a participatory science framework that engages communities in soil monitoring and management through co-designed projects, educational outreach, and simplified data collection protocols.

 This paper evaluates the readiness of 197 countries in translating carbon-neutrality targets into concrete policies and actions, identifying critical implementation gaps and pathways forward—directly supporting urgent global climate action under SDG 13.

Sustainable healthy diets in South Asia require a deeper understanding of food choice drivers at household, adolescent, and market levels. Addressing knowledge gaps through interdisciplinary research, improved measurement tools, and collaborative efforts is vital for guiding policy and program interventions. As food systems rapidly transform and ultraprocessed foods proliferate, targeted research and evidence-based strategies are essential to promote healthy, equitable, and sustainable diets for all populations in the region.
