As we approach the midpoint of Agenda 2030 programme, scientists are increasingly reliant on innovative solutions to help bring us closer achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study aims analyse intellectual structure academic literature SDGs, Innovation, and Science, Technology Innovation (STI). Using a database 544 English-language publications from Scopus Web Science published between 2015 2023, employ three-pronged comprising bibliometric analyses, SDG mapping text-mining techniques. Our findings indicate that innovations in one cluster defined analysis display economic, social environmental dimensions. Furthermore, underlying roles innovation found relate promoting sustainable development, driving economic growth, enhancing enterprise performance strengthening policies. Within sample literature, all 17 goals were identified by Mapper. Among 5Ps (People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace Partnerships), there was clear preponderance articles Prosperity. The text mining titles abstracts indicates term "sti" is less commonly associated with SGDs than "innovation". However, some evidence "innovation" used attract broader audience. highlights research gaps identifies opportunities for future studies.

Abstract The health and wellbeing effects of climate change events have gained much attention from decision makers academia over the past decade. Using a systematic review approach, this paper aims to present an improved understanding how different impacted on people's and/or wellbeing. A thorough 93 articles following PRISMA SALSA protocol revealed nine events, which heat waves extreme ambient temperature were found be closely associated with most cited illnesses, including physical problems failure one's circulatory respiratory systems. Age gender are critical factors among others that differentiate health. Although formulation heatwave response plans has been adopted in many countries, findings study suggest design for climate‐adaptive built environments is paramount importance. This provides insights into adaption strategies perspective. can used by disaster risk reduction (DRR) policymakers practitioners identify areas target their agenda order enhance adaptive ability communities.
