Outlining how vehicle electrification in low-income countries can help EVs achieve the goals of sustainable mobility.
This study projects China's agricultural environmental impacts under different socioeconomic pathways, showing that sustainable development (SSP1) could reduce impacts by up to 76% by 2050, while less cooperative scenarios (SSP3) may lead to smaller reductions or increases. The results highlight the critical influence of agricultural policies in driving environmental sustainability and decarbonization across China's regions.
Conservation and restoration of mangrove blue carbon ecosystems are vital for climate mitigation. Our study shows that former aquaculture ponds remain suitable for restoration, offering significant carbon benefits and guiding cost-effective strategies.
This research article highlights the need to improve menstrual hygiene practices and address urinary tract infection (UTI) prevalence through better facilities during sea invasions. Collaboration with local authorities to address related concerns is recommended.
The Elsevier Foundation Chemistry for Climate Action Challenge is a collaboration between the Elsevier Foundation, a non-profit focused on inclusive res
This study investigates variations in the ice-flow speed of the Shirase Glacier ice tongue in East Antarctica from July 2018 to December 2021 using Sentinel-1 radar imagery. It identifies significant slowdown events linked to icebergs grounding on the seafloor, revealing that the ice tongue provides limited support to the grounding line, which has broader implications for understanding glacier dynamics and the potential consequences of ice loss in the context of climate change.
This research article presents a comprehensive review of the snow cover area, mass balance, glacial area loss, surface velocities, and the application of snowmelt runoff models in the Kashmir Himalayas and Upper Indus Basin. It finds that glaciers in these regions are experiencing significant ice loss and negative mass balance, with broader implications for water resources and ecosystems as climate change accelerates.
In this round up of 2024, we share the Special Collections published on the SDG Resource Centre throughout the year, featuring more than 800 research articles and book chapters made freely available to advance knowledge and accelerate the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.
