Climate change’s growing impact on human mobility—and the misleading narratives surrounding it—calls for nuanced research to clarify when mobility aids adaptation and its complex outcomes. Key priorities include integrating planning, addressing involuntary immobility and vulnerability, and ensuring policies respect diverse experiences, emphasizing choice and freedom of movement.

The study forecasts AI-based innovation's impact on SDGs in 22 countries from 2022 to 2030 using System Dynamics Modeling. In most of the 22 countries studied, AI-based innovation positively affects SDGs 1, 3, and 5. For half of the countries studied, AI-based innovation positively influences SDGs 2, 4, 6–8, 11, 13, and 16–17. AI-based innovation does not positively influence SDGs 10, 12, 14–15 for most countries studied.

This chapter aligns with Goals 9 and 14 by studying the risk-based assessment methods associated with health, safety, and environmental protection of engineering structures and infrastructure, discussing how to prevent and mitigate oil and gas leaks, fires, explosions, and more.

This paper introduces a semantic technology-based framework for secure, interoperable, and trustworthy IoT data sharing in smart city environments, supporting real-time decisions while ensuring data quality, privacy, and compliance with GDPR. Its low resource footprint makes it suitable for deployment on edge devices like Raspberry Pi, enabling accurate and efficient data exchange.
