Heating and cooling in buildings account for nearly 20% of energy use globally.

This article supports SDG 2, SDG 3, and SDG 13 by demonstrating the economic benefits of wind energy development to the local individuals and communities.

Nuclear power's contribution to climate change mitigation is and will be very limited. Currently nuclear power avoids 2–3% of total global GHG emissions per year. According to current planning this value will decrease even further until 2040. A substantial expansion of nuclear power will not be possible. Given its low contribution, a complete phase-out of nuclear energy is feasible.

This chapter advances UN SDG goals 11 and 13 by examining how the development of clean technologies can reduce potential environmental and human health hazards associated with the production of nanotechnology products.

The interest in eating insects as food is increasing, not least for sustainability reasons. However, the acceptance among consumers remains low.

Proven and sustainable practices like climate-smart agricultural practices (CSAPs) need to be prioritized and promoted for uptake especially by the farmers to achieve sustainable development.
