The ecological intensification index (EII) is a new tool that helps balance agricultural productivity with environmental sustainability by quantifying both crop yields and ecological services like soil carbon storage. It guides farmers and policymakers in adopting practices that maximize food production while minimizing ecological damage, supporting sustainable agriculture in a changing climate.
Big data shows significant potential for deep decarbonization in the transportation sector, while advances in artificial intelligence (AI) technologies help extracting valuable knowledge from such data. This study reviews the applications of big data and AI technologies in transportation, encompassing data accumulation, pattern understanding, and uncovering the intricate nexus between transportation activities and carbon emissions, ultimately providing insights for achieving carbon neutrality.
This article proposed a new research framework to help better account for the broader sustainability (e.g. local community well-being, affordability, accessibility) in the net-zero energy transition
Supported by Dubai Cares and together with Unbounded Associates and Plan International, the Ban Ki-moon Centre presents the “Your Future in Green Jobs” Online Course and Mentorship. Designed for people of 14-20 years old, this course aims to empower youth to connect their passion, interests, and skills with meaningful careers that address climate change head-on.
The program has two key components:
This review evaluates how AI-driven solutions, especially generative AI, can enhance urban energy resilience to help power systems adapt to and recover from extreme weather events and energy crises. By improving energy efficiency, reliability, and robustness, this approach directly supports the transition to carbon neutrality, which is essential for limiting global temperature increase and mitigating the impacts of climate change.
Climate change threatens global food security by reducing crop yields and increasing environmental stresses, requiring urgent innovation in crop resilience through advanced breeding, genetic engineering, and sustainable practices. To succeed, global collaboration, streamlined regulations, public engagement, and integrating field and lab research are essential for developing adaptable, climate-resilient crops that ensure a sustainable food future.
Background: Few countries have succeeded to decrease the prevalence of anemia in women of reproductive age (WRA), and where improvements have been observed, contributing factors are not well understood. Objectives: To synthesize cross-cutting findings from specific exemplar studies in Uganda, Senegal, the Philippines, and Pakistan by reviewing anemia trends, policies, and programs, comparing drivers of change, and proposing strategies to achieve further reductions in WRA anemia.
Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV) poses a significant threat to the well-being of women and girls and is a highly prevalent form of gender-based violence. Evidence regarding the nutritional implications of IPV has focused primarily on intergenerational relationships with child nutrition and growth. There remains a knowledge gap regarding the association with women's own dietary intake. Objectives: We investigated relationships between past-year IPV (physical, emotional, and sexual) and women's dietary habits, using the Minimum Dietary Diversity for Women tool.
