  • Five Lessons From a Decade of Sustainable Development Goals Policy Traction

    Open AccessVolkan Göçoğlu, Elifnur Düzsöz et al.ARTICLESustainable Development2026

    As the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda deadline looms, the gap between political commitments and operational outcomes is widening. While previous studies offer fragmented diagnoses, holistic lessons derived from a decade of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) implementation remain lacking. To address this gap, we examine 60 countries' Voluntary National Reviews (VNRs) from diverse geographies and income groups, use a thematic content ana…

  • Integrating agriculture into European urban landscapes matters

    Open AccessStepan Svintsov, Prajal Pradhan et al.ARTICLESustainable Cities and Society2026

    Urban agriculture has emerged as a pathway to enhance food security, improve urban resilience, and reduce the environmental impact of food systems. However, its potential across cities remains underexplored. This study offers a systematic evaluation of the potential for low-tech, open-air, soil-based urban vegetable production in European cities, examining its role in meeting local food demand and contributing to sustainability goals. Leveraging …

    Open AccessGiri Prasad Kandel, Miroslava Bavorova et al.ARTICLEAgroecology and Sustainable Food…2026

    Climate change affects the livelihood and food security of Nepalese smallholder farmers. Rural out-migration has increased remarkably, rising to 4.35 persons per 1000 inhabitants in 2022, potentially impacting agricultural production in the country. Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyse the nexus among climate change, migration, and food security. We aimed to identify the factors influencing rural-out migration, including climate …

  • A Systematic Review Highlights the Need for Holistic Modeling of the Sustainable Development Goals

    Open AccessTeun Kluck, Chaohui Li et al.ARTICLESustainable Development2025

    The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are behind schedule for achievement by 2030. To avoid focusing on certain goals at the expense of others, all aspects of the SDGs must be considered in decision‐making and planning. Models have proven to be a crucial tool for analyzing scenarios, showing optimal pathways to a more sustainable world, and finding synergies and trade‐offs between the SDGs and their indicators. Therefore, there is a need for a…

  • Ecosystem (dis)services matter for conservation policies

    Open AccessDaya Raj Subedi, Qijing Liu et al.ARTICLEEarth System Governance2025Referencias: 11

    Ecosystem services have gained increasing policy relevance for their dual role in promoting biodiversity conservation and supporting human well-being. However, the integration of ecosystem services into conservation policies remains poorly understood. We examined how ecosystem services and disservices are incorporated into protected area policies in Nepal. A review of 111 laws and policies, supplemented by 19 expert interviews, was conducted. Our…

  • Existing gaps in understanding Sustainable Development Goals interactions

    Open AccessUtkarsh Ashok Khot, Anne Warchold et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Impact Assessment…2025Referencias: 1

    Most countries remain off track to fulfil the 2030 Agenda's 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 169 targets. One key challenge to achieving the 2030 Agenda lies in trade-offs arising from cherry-picking goals or targets at the expense of others. Overlooking these SDG interactions, i.e., synergies and trade-offs, risks creating conflicting policies that undermine the interconnected nature of sustainable development. Hence, there is a need …

  • Nonlinear and weak interactions among sustainable development goals (SDGs) drive China's SDGs growth rate below expectations

  • Beyond borders

    Open AccessJunze Zhang, Keith R Skene et al.ARTICLESustainable Development2024Citada por: 3Referencias: 6

    The many complex interconnections among countries driven by natural and socio‐economic processes have a crucial impact on regional and global sustainability, yet a robust and systematic way to quantify this impact is lacking. Here we introduce two complementary approaches to bridge this key methodological gap. The first entails constructing a new sustainability index capable of systematically considering pertinent indicators of interdependencies …

  • Decoupling of environmental impacts in the iron and steel sector is still needed beyond emissions

    Open AccessChaohui Li, Prajal PradhanARTICLESustainable Development2024Referencias: 1

    The iron and steel (IAS) sector forms a critical foundation of the global economy, and the successful eco‐economic decoupling of this sector has been a focus of academic inquiry. However, existing literature in decoupling analysis often adopts a “carbon tunnel vision,” that is, concentrating on carbon alone while neglecting a broader array of environmental consequences. Here, we conduct multi‐footprint accounting for the IAS sector from 2000 to 2…

  • Sustainable biogas production potential in Nepal using waste biomass

    Open AccessSunil Prasad Lohani, Renisha Acharya et al.ARTICLESustainable Development2024Referencias: 1

    Biogas plays a significant part in replacing solid biomass and fossil fuels for cooking. However, the implementation of appropriate policies to promote the development of biogas plants is hindered by a lack of adequate assessment of the biogas potential in Nepal. Thus, we estimate the potential of biogas production at the district level of Nepal from available waste biomass, including livestock manure, agricultural residues, and organic fraction …
