Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation

This study explores the integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in water distribution networks, identifying opportunities for enhancing information retrieval, improving water quality management, implementing predictive maintenance, and optimizing operations, while also addressing challenges related to data quality, scalability, and the need for expertise in both engineering and AI, ultimately providing insights for water utilities and policymakers on leveraging GenAI responsibly.

More than 800 people from over 75 countries came together virtually on 3rd June 2025 for the eleventh edition of the RELX SDG Inspiration Day: "The Future of Philanthropy: Stepping up for the SDGs" The annual online event brings together together business, academia, NGOs and government to explore pressing issues and inspire action on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Explore highlights from the day including inspiring keynotes from Ban Ki-moon, 8th Secretary General of the United Nations, Sir Lenny Henry and Sarah, Duchess of York.

Big data shows significant potential for deep decarbonization in the transportation sector, while advances in artificial intelligence (AI) technologies help extracting valuable knowledge from such data. This study reviews the applications of big data and AI technologies in transportation, encompassing data accumulation, pattern understanding, and uncovering the intricate nexus between transportation activities and carbon emissions, ultimately providing insights for achieving carbon neutrality.

This article proposed a new research framework to help better account for the broader sustainability (e.g. local community well-being, affordability, accessibility) in the net-zero energy transition

Also in laboratories we should be critical about the amount of water, energy, and resources used. There is room for increasing efficiency and better mangement there as well. The objective of this study is to evaluate the carbon and water footprints present in an environmental laboratory..

The authors demonstrate that Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) enhances transparency in water systems through interpretable decision-making models. XAI supports policymakers by providing climate impact insights for urban drainage systems. A number of key water management challenges can be addressed with XAI.
Per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent synthetic chemicals with strong carbon-fluorine (C-F) bonds, making them resistant to environmental degradation. Their widespread presence in groundwater, surface water, and drinking water, is a serious environmental threat. This artciles demonstrates the potential of novel adsorbents to achieve high PFAS removal rates while minimizing secondary contamination risks.
