Fossil fuels are currently the most significant energy sources. They expected to become less available and more expensive, leading a great demand for conservation alternative As sustainable renewable source, Biomass has piqued interest in generating bioenergy biofuels over recent years. The thermal conversion of biomass through pyrolysis is an easy, useful, low-cost process that can be applied wide variety feedstocks. Pyrolysis characteristics different feedstock samples analyzed examined thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). TGA been essential tool widely used investigate substance under heating environments, such as thermodegradation dynamics kinetics. Studying potential waste carves pathway into circular bioeconomy regime, help tackle our heavy reliance on nonrenewable This study aims give deep insight use aiding research development portrayed by wastes discussed. effects operating parameters also illustrated.

In the past few decades, major public health advances have happened in Europe, with drastic decreases premature mortality and a life expectancy increase of almost 9 years since 1980. European countries some best health-care systems world. However, Europe is challenged unprecedented overlapping crises that are detrimental to human livelihoods threaten adaptive capacity, including COVID-19 pandemic, Russian invasion Ukraine, fastest-growing migrant crisis World War 2, population displacement, environmental degradation, deepening inequalities. Compared pre-industrial times, mean average surface air temperature has been 1°C higher than global increase, 2022 was hottest summer on record.

Global warming has been changing the planet's climate pattern, leading to increasing frequency, intensity and duration of extreme weather events natural disasters. These climate-changing affect various health outcomes adversely through complicated pathways. This paper reviews main signs change so far, e.g., suboptimal ambient temperature, sea-level rise other conditions, depicts interactive pathways between different such as wildfires, floods with a broad range outcomes. Meanwhile, modifying effect socioeconomic, demographic environmental factors on is summarised, that youth, elderly, females, poor those living in coastal regions are particularly susceptible change. Although Earth whole expected suffer from change, this review article discusses some potential benefits for certain regions, more liveable environment sufficient food supply. Finally, we summarise mitigation adaptation strategies against how these may benefit human ways. provides comprehensive concise introduction possible solutions, which map directions future research.

The impact of climate change on reproductive decision-making is becoming a significant issue, with anecdotal evidence indicating growing number people factoring their concerns about into childbearing plans. Although empirical research has explored and its relationship to mental health, as well the motivations behind independently, gap in literature remains that bridges these topics at nexus. This review endeavours fill this by synthesising available connecting change-related exploring reasons relationship. A systematic using six databases was conducted identify relevant literature. Included studies reported quantitative, qualitative, mixed-methods data related to: (1) change, (2) health wellbeing concerns, (3) decision-making. Findings were synthesised narratively parallel-results convergent synthesis design quality appraised three validated assessment tools. Four hundred forty-six documents screened pre-defined inclusion criteria, resulting thirteen studies. between 2012 2022 primarily Global North countries (e.g., USA, Canada, New Zealand, European countries). Climate typically associated less positive attitudes towards reproduction desire and/or intent for fewer children or none all. themes explaining identified: uncertainty future an unborn child, environmentalist views centred overpopulation overconsumption, meeting family subsistence needs, environmental political sentiments. current reveals complex decision-making, grounded ethical, environmental, livelihood, considerations. Further required better understand address issue intercultural approach, particularly among many highly affected South populations, ensure comparability generalisable results.
