International Day of Epidemic Preparedness 2026: Strengthening Global Health Systems for Future Crises
This study proposes a “Climate-Smart Siting” framework for addressing potential conflicts between renewable energy expansion and biodiversity conservation.
World-class universities (WCUs) are key players in promoting global sustainability. This study shows that WCU's contributions to global sustainability can be seen in five different dimensions: education and research, outreach and engagement, campus operation and transportation, landscapes and ecosystems, and global leadership and impact evaluation.
As Thailand is increasingly facing climate crisis, production damage, and economic loss for farmers, alternative solutions for driving sustainable farming are needed, but not all Thai farmers can adopt sustainable farming systems, particularly smallholder farmers. To address sustainable farming for smallholder farmers, we examine the development of a cross-border supply chain between Japanese farmers knowledgeable in sustainable agricultural practices and less experienced Thai farmers.
In this episode of the "World We Want" podcast, Márcia Balisciano interviews Catherine Neish, Associate Professor, Western University. In this episode, they discuss how women still face lower participation in many STEM fields and unequal opportunities in funding and senior positions. They also discuss initiatives to address this gender bias and what changes are needed to attract more women in science.
The article concludes that meeting South East Asia s protein needs demands a dual focus on both quantity and quality, tailored to population-specific requirements and life stages. Sustainable solutions should leverage a mix of animal, plant, and novel protein sources, prioritizing local resources and innovations that enhance nutritional value and consumer acceptance. It cautions against simplistic shifts to plant-based diets, given persistent undernutrition and socioeconomic disparities, and stresses that future food policies and innovations must be guided by nutrient adequacy, environmental sustainability, safety, and cultural relevance to ensure robust and equitable improvements in regional nutrition.

Subsurface Hydrogen Energy Storage: Current Status, Prospects, and Challenges, 2025, Pages 123-150
This chapter supports UN SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) and SDG 13: Climate Action as it explores hydrogen as a promising clean energy source, emphasizing sustainable production, storage, and transportation methods. It highlights the need for technological advancements, policy support, and investment to overcome current challenges and promote decarbonization. The focus aligns with SDGs related to clean energy, innovation, climate action, and responsible resource use.
Urgent climate action is needed to ensure effectiveness of protected areas for biodiversity benefits
Biodiversity and climate change are deeply linked, with biodiversity regulating climate and climate impacting habitats, yet this link is often overlooked in policy. Our study emphasizes integrating climate mitigation into conservation to preserve ecosystem services, even if protected area goals are met.
