Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all
The UNGC's latest report on “Accelerating Innovation in Sustainable Finance” offers models for businesses on how to deliver financial returns and positive global impact – together.
The 2024 winners of the RELX Environmental Challenge, which supports innovative solutions to advance SDG 6 Clean water and sanitation, have been announced.
The RELX Environmental Challenge 2024 shortlist has been announced and features four innovative projects that provide sustainable access to safe water and improved sanitation.
SDGs have been added on Scopus' author profile pages, appearing under the rebranded “Impact” section.
Each year the RELX Environmental Challenge is awarded to projects that best demonstrate how they can provide sustainable access to safe water or sanitation. There is a $50,000 prize for the first place entry and a $25,000 prize for the second place entry. The winners also receive free access for one year to ScienceDirect, our Scientific, Technical & Medical business’ database of full text, scientific information. Projects must have clear practical applicability, address identified need and advance related issues such as health, education, or human rights.
Climate and weather can seriously affect water quality. We must consider the impacts of climate change on water quality throughout the world.
Advances in Sustainable Humidification-Dehumidification Thermal Desalination Systems, Elsevier, 2025, Pages 1-15,
The content ties to SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), and SDG 13 (Climate Action) by discussing small-scale thermal desalination techniques using low-grade heat sources to ensure sustainable water management and supply, promote affordable and clean energy access, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions through energy-efficient solutions. Greenhouse gas emissions are lowered through the utilization of low-grade heat sources.
