Drawing on insights from the United Nations 10-Member Group on Science, Technology, and Innovation for the SDGs, Beyond 2030 reviews the framework’s achievements to date and delivers critical insights into how the SDGs can guide global cooperation and decisive local action well beyond 2030.
This paper reviews existing analyses on AI infrastructures energy and climate implications and proposes quantitative scenario-based frameworks, highlighting key research challenges at the intersection of AI-driven energy demand, region-specific clean energy strategies and their economic competitiveness, strategic levers in energy sourcing decisions, and policy dynamics.
Many countries, subnational jurisdictions, and companies are setting net-zero emissions goals; however, questions remain about strategies to reach these targets, policy measures, technology gaps, and
COP30 is the 30th United Nations Conference of the Parties (COP), an annual global meeting where world leaders, scientists, non-governmental organizations, and civil society leaders gather to discu
This study analyzes decarbonization efforts of 1,095 European firms, identifying six key strategic pathwaysranging from risk diagnosis to supply chain redesignand uses a systems dynamics approach to reveal how these interconnected strategies influence climate risk performance. The findings offer valuable tools for managers and policymakers to coordinate supply chain actions more effectively, fostering continuous innovation and improved sustainability outcomes.
This review highlights how the nature crisis, particularly climate change, is reshaping the distribution and intensity of diseases, posing significant challenges for global and local health policies. It underscores the urgent need for adaptive, multidisciplinary health strategies that address vulnerable populations and prioritize mitigation efforts to build a sustainable relationship between humans and nature.
In this episode of the "World We Want" podcast, Márcia Balisciano interviews Klaus Brun, Vice President of Products and Technology, Ebara-Elliott Energy. They discuss why clean, reliable energy is essential for global sustainability and what technologies like turbines and hydrogen/CO₂ transport are needed for the transition. They also note how AI both raises energy demand and helps improve system efficiency.
