This study proposes a “Climate-Smart Siting” framework for addressing potential conflicts between renewable energy expansion and biodiversity conservation.
World-class universities (WCUs) are key players in promoting global sustainability. This study shows that WCU's contributions to global sustainability can be seen in five different dimensions: education and research, outreach and engagement, campus operation and transportation, landscapes and ecosystems, and global leadership and impact evaluation.

As Thailand is increasingly facing climate crisis, production damage, and economic loss for farmers, alternative solutions for driving sustainable farming are needed, but not all Thai farmers can adopt sustainable farming systems, particularly smallholder farmers. To address sustainable farming for smallholder farmers, we examine the development of a cross-border supply chain between Japanese farmers knowledgeable in sustainable agricultural practices and less experienced Thai farmers.

Biodiversity and climate change are deeply linked, with biodiversity regulating climate and climate impacting habitats, yet this link is often overlooked in policy. Our study emphasizes integrating climate mitigation into conservation to preserve ecosystem services, even if protected area goals are met.

This chapter aligns with several SDG goals. Goal 3: Good Health and Well-Being: the chapter discusses the poor health status and health disparities faced by Indigenous populations globally (higher rates of infant mortality, maternal mortality, malnutrition etc.) and advocates for targeted policy responses and improved access to healthcare services. Goal 10: the chapter discusses the social, economic, and political marginalization of Indigenous peoples worldwide, describing how Indigenous communities are often denied self-determination, face ongoing loss of land and resources, and experience systemic discrimination. Goal 15: Life on Land: the chapter discusses the close relationship between the health of Indigenous peoples and the health of their traditional lands and ecosystems. It highlights the importance of biodiversity conservation and the need to recognize the rights of Indigenous communities to their ancestral territories and natural resources.
