As we pursue a thrivable future, we must commit to improving agricultural practices

Green Technology: Improving Agricultural Practices

|

Human civilisation and agriculture are in sync. Agriculture is the process by which humans grow, process and procure plants. This started at the very beginning of human civilisation (Orsini & D’Ostuni, 2022). However, the rapid restructuring of the agricultural landscape, a decrease in soil fertility, loss of biodiversity (leading to alterations of biogeochemical cycles), pest […]

We focus on smart architecture and well-being for a thrivable future

Smart Architecture And Well-Being

|

Several connections exist between smart architecture and well-being, assisting in the development of healthy and sustainable surroundings. As social creatures, humans coexist with others in their immediate environment, which has a substantial impact on well-being. Consequently, we can satisfy our need for a healthy, occupied environment by utilising building systems that include technology. These provide

Recent Developments In Silicon Anode Technology

|

Batteries are regarded as the core of electric vehicle (EV) technology. Unlike conventional car technology, EVs completely rely on batteries to deliver power (Hannan et al., 2021). In line with this, lithium-ion battery (LIB) technology is leading to a completely new and distinctive energy storage and application paradigm. LIBs have distinguished themselves as an essential

Waste-to-energy technologies are essential to mitigate damage.

Waste-to-energy technologies: sustainable solutions

|

Decades of linear consumption habituate consumerism, valuing raw material products, causing waste in landfills and oceans (Anghel & Hristea, 2018). Unfortunately, in this prevailing fashion of overconsumption, the emphasis is on a push for purchasing products, often disregarding their long-term sustainability. Consequently, the discarded waste ends up polluting our precious land and marine ecosystems, posing

microbiological safety and water security are interrelated intricately.

Microbiological Safety And Water Security

|

Microbiological safety is incredibly important to ensure that diseases and harmful organisms are contained in a secure way. Basically, water is a chemical substance made up of two hydrogen and one oxygen atoms, existing in solid (ice), liquid (water) and gas (water vapour) forms. However, biologically, it is one of the most important constituents of living

The impact of globalisation is complex

Globalisation And Inequality

|

Over the past three decades, two significant economic trends have emerged: the growth of globalisation and rising wage inequality. Globalisation and inequality result from policies promoting trade and foreign direct investment (FDI) liberalisation, deregulation, and technological advancement. Developing nations have been exposed to the effects of fast globalisation through international markets and competition. Globalisation and

UNRISD Thresholds of Transformation Report

|

The Thresholds of Transformation report was released by the United Nations Research Institute for Social Development (UNRISD) in July 2022. This report presents the results of a pilot test project on a set of Sustainable Development Performance Indicators (SDPIs) developed by UNRISD. The SDPIs are novel indicators that assess sustainability impacts by comparing them to
