Coevolution and Prediction of Coupled Human-Water Systems: A Sociohydrologic Synthesis of Change in Hydrology and Society, Volume , 1 January 2025
This chapter explores the complex relationship between water and society through various theoretical frameworks, emphasizing the concept of “coupled human-water systems” (CHWSs). Recognizing that water and social systems coevolve across multiple scales, the chapter highlights how understanding these interconnected systems is vital for promoting sustainable urban development (SDG 11) and ensuring healthy, resilient communities (SDG 3). By analyzing past, present, and future system dynamics, the chapter aims to inform policies and actions that foster sustainable water management, reduce health risks, and support resilient infrastructure—key elements for advancing both SDG 11 and SDG 3.

Aquatic Biomes: Global Biome Conservation and Global Warming Impacts on Ecology and Biodiversity, Volume , 1 January 2025
This chapter describes the development of a unified water information system designed to improve the management and preservation of hydrological resources in the Jamapa River Basin, supporting SDG 6 by strengthening data-driven water resource management. It also aligns with SDG 17 by highlighting collaboration and information exchange among multiple stakeholders to support sustainable water governance.
This chapter examines how plastic debris enters, moves through, and accumulates in ocean systems, helping to understand and mitigate marine pollution, which directly supports SDG 14 by protecting marine ecosystems. By analyzing the sources and distribution of plastic waste, it also relates to SDG 12, which promotes reducing waste and improving the management of materials that impact environmental sustainability.
This chapter supports the UN SDGs by highlighting hydropower's role in providing sustainable, efficient, and versatile renewable energy (SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy), while also addressing environmental and social challenges (SDG 13: Climate Action; SDG 15: Life on Land; and SDG 1: No Poverty) associated with large hydropower projects.
This chapter supports the UN SDGs by promoting sustainable and efficient hydropower technologies that contribute to SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), SDG 13 (Climate Action), and SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) by advancing renewable energy solutions with minimal environmental impact.
This study projects the energy cneeds and carbon footprints of energy centres in Germany by 2030 and maps the pathway towards zero emissions.
Outlining how vehicle electrification in low-income countries can help EVs achieve the goals of sustainable mobility.
Daytime radiative cooling and photovoltaic energy generation are poorly compatible, as they have competing physical demands. Here, a transmission-based radiative cooling system is integrated with solar cells, allowing simultaneous cooling and photovoltaic power generation in sunny weather.
Explain the role of UN declaration on peasant's rights for a just energy transtion.
