Urban climate change agenda furthered by aligning adaptation plans with development goals. Near-term benefits delivered by aligning adaptation, mitigation and development. Synergistic adaptation-mitigation planning leads to inclusion of co-benefits and avoidance of trade-offs. Informal networks can enhance coordination required for co-benefit approaches.
Background: With much of the world's population residing in urban areas, an understanding of air pollution exposures at the city level can inform mitigation approaches.
Background: Road-traffic injuries are a key cause of death and disability in low-income and middle-income countries, but the effect of city characteristics on road-traffic mortality is unknown in thes
Transportation is a basic social need, but most trips are done by private vehicles, which is not environmentally sustainable with growing urban populations.

Transport emissions play a large role in climate change. Unfortunately, measures to address this risk creating inequalities in access to mobility. This article proposes policy recommendations to reconcile these two problems.
Authors argue that 'we need a sustainability transformation of the digital transformation'. A long-term perspective is required to embed sustainability into the software engineering industry.

This chapter introduces key concepts of water desalination systems driven by sustainable energy sources, as we look to meet civilization's water needs through sustainable means - supporting SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) as well as SDG 7 (Clean and Affordable Energy)
This paper examines a Native Hawaiian led effort to redress the removal of Indigenous Peoples from ancestral lands. This demonstration provides an important example of how biocultural strategies can achieve landscape restoration in Hawaiʻi. We outline how the Pu‘uwa‘awa‘a Community-Based Subsistence Forest Area is approaching common dryland restoration goals.
Land use and land cover changes in the Jedeb and Chemoga watersheds have been detected in the past 29 years.
This paper presents a water resilience assessment framework that includes a set of resilience indicators that will guide in building urban water resilience.
