Aligns with Goals 12 and 13 by describing the role of carbon-based materials in water treatment, the challenges to progress, and the future of these carbon-based materials in this field.

This chapter aligns with Goals 12 and 13 by highlighting the importance of various MXene-based hybrid nanomaterial types in the elimination of heavy metals from wastewater.

This chapter aligns with Goals 12 and 13 by reviewing the role of functionalized nanofibers in wastewater treatment.

This chapter aligns with Goals 12 and 13 by reviewing the ongoing research and development activities on the positive and harmful effects of NPs on the environment. First, the emission of NPs is described, then legislation and later the advantages and disadvantages of NPs toward the environment are highlighted. The possible consequences on human health and the environment, both negative and positive, are crucial issues that need to be addressed.

This chapter aligns with Goals 12 and 13 by reviewing the potential pathways of nanofibers’ release to the environment and discussing the impact of various types of nanofibers on human and animal health.

This chapter aligns with Goals 2 and 11 by focusing on the potential for improved food production when agroforestry practices are exploited. Further, the use of Agroforestry enhances sustainability within food production systems by providing environmental protections and balances.

This chapter aligns with Goals 7, 9 and 12 by assessing the interconnections between - and environmental implications of - wind energy development and use of rare earth elements.

This chapter aligns with Goals 12, 13 and 15 by reviewing direct and indirect causes and drivers responsible for forest degradation and their consequences on health, environment, life, etc.

This chapter aligns with Goals 13 and 15 by reviewing the latest literature about plant–microbe and microbe–microbe interactions in coordinating the interlinked carbon, nutrient, and water cycles, and we estimate how these may respond to the key global change factors of CO2, temperature, and precipitation.

This chapter aligns with Goals 13 and 15 by providing a reminder of the wide range of essential ecological benefits of forests and of the many products and services humans derive from forests, and then summarize three hallmarks of healthy forests across ecosystems and conclude by leveraging what we know about forests in the past to propose five key principles for future forest management.
