In the last couple of years, deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have been raising a lot of attention mainly due to their versatility and their easy and speedy preparation without the need of further purifi
The number of countries with a national development plan has more than doubled, from about 62 in 2006 to 134 in 2018.
This microplastics special issue compiled by Trends in Analytical Chemistry supports many of the SDGs, namely SDGs 3 (good health and well-being), 9.5 (enhance scientific research), 12 (responsible consumption and production), 14 (life below water) and 15 (life on land).
Green Food Processing Techniques - Chapter 1: Green food processing: concepts, strategies, and tools
Green Food Processing Techniques: Preservation, Transformation and Extraction, 2019, Pages 1-21
Advancing SDGs 3, 9 and 12, this chapter gives an overview of green food processing concepts, strategies and tools.
This Special Issue, bringing together articles from Science of the Total Environment; Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews; Ecological Modelling, and Resources; Conservation and Recycling, highlights the increasing understanding that major systems servicing human well-being, food, energy and water (FEW) systems are inextricably connected, and any attempt to address one dimension in isolation of the others will lead to unexpected, undesired, and far from optimal consequences. Considering these three systems holistically as the Food-Energy-Water Nexus directly considers Sustainable Development Goals 2 (zero hunger), 6 (clean water and sanitation), 7 (affordable and clean energy), 9 (industry, innovation and infrastructure), and 12 (responsible consumption and production).
This chapter explores the use of geographical information systems (GIS) and statistical approaches to determine the extent of fluoride contamination in groundwater (SDG 6).
The presence of small plastic particles in the environment, reported for the first time in the 1970's, has only recently been recognized as a global issue.
Currently, learning technologies are transforming and modifying educational systems with impressive progress of Information and Communication Technologies.
To what extent is scientific research related to societal needs?
The UN has adopted the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (2015–2030; SFDRR) in March 2015 and the member countries agreed to shift from disaster management to disaster risk management.
