Advances in Energy from Waste: Transformation Methods, Applications and Limitations Under Sustainability, Woodhead Advances in Pollution Research, 2024, Pages 225-279

This chapter ties into Sustainable Development Goal 11, Sustainable Development Goal 12, and Sustainable Development Goal 13 by focusing on designing sustainable waste management systems for smart cities, which enhances urban sustainability and resilience, by discussing AI-based waste management systems that optimize recycling, resource recovery, and efficient waste handling, promoting sustainable consumption and production patterns, and by exploring AI’s role in carbon emission assessment and energy transition processes, contributing to efforts to combat climate change and its impacts.
Plastic waste is a mounting environmental problem, and heterogeneous catalysts offer a promising route to upcycling such waste into useful products. This article reviews the chemistry underlying such processes.
This year’s RELX SDG Inspiration Day will bring together global AI leaders, corporate representatives, investors, government, and NGOs to explore issues, gain practical insights and be inspired to take action in support of the Global Goals. Elsevier is proud to share this special collection of articles and chapters in celebration of this event.

Waste Management for Sustainable and Restored Agricultural Soil, Agricultural Soil Degredation and Restoration, 2024, Pages 371-386

This content aligns with Goals 11, 12, and 13 by explaining how indigenous technical knowledge can enhance and complement OF: (1) biodiversity and traditional seeds, (2) ecosystem integration, (3) natural pest and disease management (4) soil health and fertility, (5) cultural and spiritual significance, (6) community engagement and decision, and (7) climate resilience.

In this study, the authors analyse alternative pembrolizumab administration strategies that might have environmental advantages over the current dosing and compounding paradigms (improved environmental sustainability without sacrificing clinical outcomes)

This research has uncovered the conflicts between solar-energy development and the conservation of threatened bird species. A comprehensive analysis has revealed that a staggering 97.4% of regions with significant solar-energy potential overlap with the ranges of multiple endangered bird species. Even more alarming is the fact that over 17.0% of these areas are home to at least 10 threatened bird species. These findings highlight the urgent need to address the potential negative impacts of solar-energy projects on avian biodiversity.
