This chapter aligns with Goals 9, 11, and 13 by focusing on the use of renewable and recyclable materials, as well as adoption of methods to reduce energy consumption and waste.

How to reduce human-wildlife conflixt through education

This chapter ties into Sustainable Development Goal 11: Sustainable cities and communities and Sustainable Development Goal 13: Climate action by discussing the environmental sustainability of biowaste in bioplastic production, including a life cycle assessment of bioplastic production from biowaste and a comparison of its environmental impact to conventional plastics.

This paper seeks to contribute to pipeline leakage detection research through collecting and simulating leakage signals under different pressure strengths by combining experiments with numerical simulation. The findings point towards better detection in a real noise environment. Such research is vital in the context of increasing worldwide demand for water and insufficient water supply caused by pipeline leakage.

This chapter aligns with Goals 9, 11, 12 by emphasizing the responsible disposal of toxic building materials and providing guidance on selecting materials that have a positive effect on the health of occupants and the environment.

Augmentation approaches warrant further consideration as part of water agencies' regional water supply portfolios. Although the ocean water augmentation approaches discussed in this paper are based on a case study in California, the approach can be applied to similar scenarios around the world.

This study seeks the view of ten school principals on the pathways of incorporating environmental education into the school curriculum in South Africa.

This chapter intends to systematize the trends and approaches that will inspire local policymaking in response to climate change challenges and to meet European guidelines and recommendations for s

This chapter explores how rapid urbanization and climate change threaten urban water security, using Windhoek, Namibia, as a case study. It highlights how adaptive, innovative approaches—such as resource-efficient systems and resilient storage—can transform hydrosocial systems to ensure sustainable water access, supporting healthier, more resilient cities (SDG 11) and safeguarding public health (SDG 3). The Windhoek experience underscores the importance of rethinking development pathways to build adaptive, equitable urban water systems in a changing world.
