Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation
This study explores the food and nutrition security practices among artisanal and small-scale mining communities in Nigeria, revealing both strengths, such as access to local foods and purchasing power, and significant challenges, including meal skipping, poor water quality, and limited healthcare access. The findings emphasize the need for comprehensive interventions to improve nutrition, healthcare infrastructure, and social protection, which are essential for the well-being and sustainable development of these mining communities.
This paper reviews existing analyses on AI infrastructures energy and climate implications and proposes quantitative scenario-based frameworks, highlighting key research challenges at the intersection of AI-driven energy demand, region-specific clean energy strategies and their economic competitiveness, strategic levers in energy sourcing decisions, and policy dynamics.
Many countries, subnational jurisdictions, and companies are setting net-zero emissions goals; however, questions remain about strategies to reach these targets, policy measures, technology gaps, and
This study analyzes decarbonization efforts of 1,095 European firms, identifying six key strategic pathwaysranging from risk diagnosis to supply chain redesignand uses a systems dynamics approach to reveal how these interconnected strategies influence climate risk performance. The findings offer valuable tools for managers and policymakers to coordinate supply chain actions more effectively, fostering continuous innovation and improved sustainability outcomes.
In this episode of the "World We Want" podcast, Márcia Balisciano interviews Klaus Brun, Vice President of Products and Technology, Ebara-Elliott Energy. They discuss why clean, reliable energy is essential for global sustainability and what technologies like turbines and hydrogen/CO₂ transport are needed for the transition. They also note how AI both raises energy demand and helps improve system efficiency.
To help companies strengthen competitiveness and resilience, the UN Global Compact Network UK, in collaboration with University College London, Newcastle University, and Euromonitor International,
The Elsevier Foundation and RIKEN's report, ‘Envisioning Futures: Amplifying women’s voices and leadership in Japanese Science’, calls on research institutions to expand definitions of excellence b
With an estimated 2 billion people worldwide suffering from iron deficiency — a condition linked to anemia, impaired childhood brain development, and higher infant mortality — researchers are racing to find more effective nutritional interventions. MIT scientists have developed a promising solution: tiny crystalline particles known as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that can be used to fortify everyday foods and beverages, mixed into foods such as bread or sprinkled directly into drinks like coffee or tea.
The study finds that Chinese listed companies' increasing carbon footprints, primarily from value chain emissions, are associated with higher expected returns, indicating a carbon damage risk premium recognized by investors.
