The clothing, footwear, and household textiles sectors play a significant role, providing employment opportunities on global scale. However, they are also associated with considerable consumption of natural resources, leading to high levels water pollution emissions greenhouse gases, contributing climate change. carbon footprint (CF) depends generally fabric types production processes. Natural fibers such as cotton, wool, silk, have lower CF when compared synthetic fabrics polyester nylon, requiring more energy chemicals during production. In addition, manufactured through eco-friendly methods, closed-loop systems sustainable processes, significantly than those produced using conventional means. Accordingly, there is perceived need for comprehensive studies that investigate the environmental implications textile sector. Considering these concerns, study was undertaken topic, encompassing literature review data collection so present an overview impacts results from research show resource sector, particularly its CF, demands urgent action in order reduce impacts. Also, actionable measures needed industry. These described paper, along obstacles be overcome not only this but pursue objectives outlined development goals.

Abstract Researchers and stakeholders have shown interest in heterogeneous composite biodiesel (HCB) due to its enhanced fuel properties environmental friendliness (EF). The lack of high viscosity datasets for parent hybrid oils has hindered their commercialisation. Reliable models are lacking optimise the transesterification parameters developing HCB, scarcity predictive affected climate researchers experts. In this study, basic were analysed, developed yield HCB kinematic (KV) biodiesel/neem castor seed oil methyl ester (NCSOME) using Artificial Neural Network (ANN) Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS). Statistical indices such as computed coefficient determination (R 2 ), root-mean-square-error (RMSE), standard error prediction (SEP), mean average (MAE), absolute deviation (AAD) used evaluate effectiveness techniques. Emission NCSOME-diesel blends also established. study investigated impact optimised types/NCSOME-diesel (10–30 vol%), ZnO nanoparticle dosage (400–800 ppm), engine speed (1100–1700 rpm), load (10–30%) on emission characteristics (EFI) carbon monoxide (CO), Oxides Nitrogen (NOx), Unburnt Hydrocarbon (UHC) Response Surface Methodology (RSM). ANFIS model demonstrated superior performance terms R , RMSE, SEP, MAE, AAD compared ANN predicting KV HCB. optimal levels CO (49.26 NO x (0.5171 UHC (2.783) achieved with a type 23.4%, 685.432 ppm, 1329.2 rpm, 10% ensure cleaner EFI. can effectively predict fuel-related improve process, while RSM be valuable tool accurate forecasting promoting environment. provide reliable information strategic planning automotive industries.

This study investigates the alignment of research on small island developing states (SIDSs) with sustainable development goals (SDGs), identifying key focus areas, interdisciplinary connections, gaps, thematic clusters, and insights from case studies. By employing a mixed methods design that combines quantitative scientometric analysis qualitative studies, this unique examines nexus between SIDS its contribution to SDGs. The findings reveal SDG 13 (climate action) 14 (life below water) dominate research, emphasizing need address climate challenges marine biodiversity. Economic aspects are underscored by 8 (decent work economic growth) 12 (responsible consumption production), while urban inequality addressed through 11 (sustainable cities communities) 10 (reduced inequalities). Renewable energy food security focal points in 7 (affordable clean energy) 2 (zero hunger). Moderate outputs 3 (good health well-being) 15 land) suggest holistic approach, lower activity SDGs 16 (peace), 6 (clean water), 4 (education), 5 (gender) presents opportunities for further exploration. is highly interdisciplinary, as seen three distinct networks: foundational social goals, environmental objectives, preservation. clusters include adaptation, public health, socioeconomic development, policy economics. Case studies various SIDSs illustrate complex interplay sustainability, well-being, highlighting importance tailored approaches, international cooperation, local community engagement. These underscore integrated strategies SIDSs, action, practices, comprehensive approaches achieve effectively.

Abstract Through in‐depth interviews, this study explored US youth climate justice activists' views and experiences of change education (CCE) their recommendations for alternative educational approaches to advance justice. Youth activists ( N = 16; ages 15 17) viewed as critical spurring societal transformation, however, most described narrowly focused (e.g., depoliticized; science‐centric) or inadequate sparse, absent) school‐based CCE. Youths' emphasized the need justice‐driven action‐oriented CCE all equip learners with knowledge skills actively contribute urgently needed, justice‐minded, systems‐level change. Findings have implications curricular policy that enable action.

<sec></sec><sec><p> Sustainable development depends on the integration of economy, society, and environment. Yet, escalating environmental challenges pose threats to both society economy. Despite progress in addressing issues promote sustainability, knowledge gaps scientific research, technological advancement, engineering practice, policy persist. In this review, we aim narrow these by proposing innovation-based solutions refining existing paradigms. Reviewing past research actions, first elucidate evolution sustainability science essence sustainable its assessment. Secondly, summarize current major issues, including global warming climate change, biodiversity loss, land degradation desertification, pollution, as well their relationships with achievement Development Goals (SDGs). Subsequently, review critically evaluates role innovations science, technology, engineering, (iSTEP) synergies advancing SDGs. While sequential may vary based specific contexts or scenarios within iSTEP framework, each component reinforces others, fostering continuous improvement. Finally, offers recommendations future perspectives for formulating roadmaps. Recommendations include a vision promoting interdisciplinary collaboration, encouraging transboundary cooperation among stakeholders endeavors.</p></sec>

This study addresses the challenges faced by organizations in prioritizing sustainability reporting aligned with United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We examine cause-and-effect relationships among dimension-related disclosures and specific SDG criteria. advocates a prioritization approach to across dimensions To conduct our empirical analysis, we designate SDG13 (Climate Change), SDG7 (Affordable Clean Energy), SDG12 (Responsible Consumption Production) as representatives of related biosphere, society, economy, respectively. employ novel methodology that integrates quantum spherical fuzzy sets (QSFS) into decision-making trial evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) technique. demonstrate superiority methodology, which enhances precision under uncertainty. Our findings reveal biosphere disclosure influences remaining dimensions. Notably, find criteria for each are interrelated can be ranked according intensity their influence on other. Disclosure "materiality analysis sustainable energy" is most influential factor. These have managerial implications future studies. By identifying interrelations factors, companies focus efforts impactful aspects. provide foundation developing an innovative framework disclosures. Policymakers leverage these insights enhance current practices contribute broader discourse development.
