This study shows that climate change
has significantly decreased crop yields and heightened food insecurity in sub-Saharan Africa, and although adaptation strategies provide some relief, major challenges persist, highlighting the need for targeted resilience policies.

The authors highlight that while urban gardens and green roofs provide crucial benefits like air filtration and cooling, many commonly planted species like birch trees and grasses produce high amounts of allergenic pollen that affects up to 40% of Europeans

Since 2016, there have been significant developments in agrivoltaic farming and the role of solar energy harvesting.

The article provides an overview of metal-organic framework (MOF)-based composite adsorbents for atmospheric water harvesting, discussing the hydrolytic stability of MOFs, recent advances in sorption-based water harvesting devices, and the challenges and prospects of MOF-based composite adsorbents. Key points include compositing MOFs with other functional materials to address limitations in water adsorption capacity and energy-intensive regeneration, and the factors affecting the hydrolytic stability of MOFs.

This article presents a heat-pump-coupled sorbent system to simultaneously harvest water from air and regulate indoor environments, addressing global challenges related to water scarcity and energy-efficient air conditioning.

This chapter focuses on the conservation and sustainable use of marine ecosystems and bioresources. It emphasizes responsible harvesting, monitoring, and sustainable management of marine biodiversity, which directly aligns with SDG 14’s goal of protecting oceans and marine life.

Explain the role of UN declaration on peasant's rights for a just energy transtion.

Daytime radiative cooling and photovoltaic energy generation are poorly compatible, as they have competing physical demands. Here, a transmission-based radiative cooling system is integrated with solar cells, allowing simultaneous cooling and photovoltaic power generation in sunny weather.

This chapter supports the UN SDGs by promoting sustainable and efficient hydropower technologies that contribute to SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), SDG 13 (Climate Action), and SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) by advancing renewable energy solutions with minimal environmental impact.
