This chapter aligns with SDG Goals 7, 11, and 13 by discussing the challenges and opportunities in integrating renewable energy, ensuring infrastructure resilience, addressing data privacy, and bridging the digital divide.

This chapter aligns with UN SDG goals 11 by discussing how smart cities can influence health determinants and quality of life in sustainable communities.

This Article supports SDG 3 by assessing the prevalence of hepatitis B, C, and delta virus in French Polynesia. The findings suggest that the HBV vaccination policy is effective and that HCV and HDV have very low levels of transmission, although some areas did have higher HBV prevalence, warrenting improved vaccine coverage and awareness.

In this chapter, we discuss various methods for synthesizing nanomaterials and their properties for application in energy generation. We also explore the practical applications of different nanomaterial-based energy-generating devices and their performance, positioning them as alternative technologies to traditional power sources. The chapter highlights the overall performance—thermal, electrical, and mechanical—of nanomaterial-based energy generators and examines the role of various nanomaterials in energy-harvesting devices. Finally, we address the current challenges in applying nanomaterials in energy generation.
