Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable
This cutting-edge engineering study proposes innovative symbiosis between data centers and wastewater treatment plants (using treated effluent for cooling and heat recovery), demonstrating how emerging AI infrastructure can dramatically lower its carbon footprint (estimated annual reduction of ~84 Mt CO? eq) while addressing water stressproviding a practical technological solution for climate mitigation in a rapidly growing sector.

World Water Day, held on 22 March every year since 1993, is an annual United Nations Observance that celebrates water and inspires action to tackle the global water crisis.

This article proposes a paradigm shift in urban planning, empowering planners with digital tools for designing "climate-positive" cities by improving the synergy of renewable energy generation, building efficiency, and heat mitigation rather than approaching them as isolated challenges.

The EU’s biomethane market has been developing at speed. Since 2023, production has risen more than 30% and the fuel is fast becoming not just an instrument to reach energy transition targets but is also making a real contribution to security of supply.

Europe acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) editor Stephanie Wix, Asia ABS Senior Editor Angeline Soh, and Senior Data Analyst Yolanda Chen discuss the impact of the recently confirmed definitive anti‑dumping duties (ADD's) on ABS imports from South Korea and Taiwan, with host Aviva Zhang, Global Lead for Styrenics and Industry Analyst for Styrene China.

In this episode of the "World We Want" podcast, Márcia Balisciano interviews Maria Angela Capello, President, Red Tree Consulting LLC. Maria Capello shares powerful insights on responsible energy development, embedding sustainability into strategy, advancing women in STEM and why human-centred leadership is critical to the energy transition.

In the second of a two-part Sustainably Speaking podcast special, Helen McGeough, ICIS global analyst team lead for plastics recycling talks to long-standing veterans of the European recycling industry about the current state of the market and steps for the future.
