The study of the sedimentary record at the mouth of the Sabarmati River in the Gulf of Khambhat provides insights into how changes in climate, sea level, and sedimentation patterns over the Holocene period impacted the environment and ancient human settlements in the region, which is relevant for understanding climate change and its effects.
This year’s RELX SDG Inspiration Day will bring together global AI leaders, corporate representatives, investors, government, and NGOs to explore issues, gain practical insights and be inspired to take action in support of the Global Goals. Elsevier is proud to share this special collection of articles and chapters in celebration of this event.

Until now, the absence of data on global building floorspace has impeded the measurement of building carbon intensity (carbon emissions per floorspace) and the identification of ways to achieve carbon neutrality for buildings. For this study, we develop a global building stock model (GLOBUS) to fill that data gap.

The study demonstrates that natural levee evolution in the central Kanto Plain is controlled by river migration and sea-level fluctuations, which are influenced by climate change, providing insights that can inform climate action.

This study is a comprehensive assessment of the effects of climate change mitigation and pollution policies in China, providing policy recommendations.
The primary outcome of our work is the strong evidence that flood hazards are related to the structural setting of the basin, which includes topography and geology, while the transition of flood hazards into disasters is mainly because of unplanned urbanization.

This text ties into SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) and SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities). It discusses the potential of poured earth materials to decarbonize the construction industry, optimize material flows, and reduce resource extraction, contributing to more sustainable and resilient urban development.
This chapter advances the UN SDG goals 9 and 11 by exploring the potential of AI tools to promote sustainable transportation in electric vehicles.
This One Earth Research Article documents how (mostly) European cities are planning to adapt to increasing heat risk due to climate change (SDG 13 & 11).
This One Earth Commentary discusses how policy makers could accelerate social change towards climate action (SDG 13) in their cities and communities (SDG 11) by reducing early inertia.
