The document outlines the comprehensive Solid Waste Management Strategy for the Sahiwal Division, focusing on transforming local waste practices into a modern, circular, and resource-efficient system across its districts (Sahiwal, Okara, and Pakpattan) over a fifteen-year period (2026–2040). Sahiwal generates increasing volumes of municipal solid...

Accelerating urban population concentration across the world has both positive and negative social-ecological consequences. Countries facing serious negative consequences like Japan need to explore enhanced deurbanization pathways, e.g., highlighting high quality of life in rural areas, to achieve a more desirable urban-rural population balance...

From "Islands of Excellence" to a "Sea of Change": How ASEAN's Secondary Cities are Localising the SDGs in the region As the ASEAN region rapidly urbanises, the focus often falls on its mega-cities.

Climate change and river flow alterations in the Mekong River have significantly exacerbated drought conditions in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD). Understanding the temporal dynamics and propagation mechanisms of drought, coupled with the compounded impacts of human activities, is crucial. This study analyzed meteorological (1992–2021) and...

Lakes play a crucial role in supplying water resources, regulating regional climates, and supporting ecosystems. However, they are increasingly threatened by recurrent droughts. This study focuses on the Mu Us Sandy Land, the fourth largest desert in China, and presents an approach that combines machine-learning techniques with a newly constructed...

Extract (first section): Humankind has used nature to address societal challenges for as long as complex society has existed—from managing floods by means of wetland preservation to controlling pests through crop diversity. Our reliance on nature continues today, even as technological innovation enables increasingly sophisticated engineered...

Water insecurity, intensified by climate change, environmental degradation, and unsustainable resource management, poses a significant threat to human well-being in coastal regions. This study examines the interrelationships among water governance, household well-being, and water security in southwestern Bangladesh. Using a multistage sampling...

The open burning of municipal solid waste (MSW) remains a prevalent yet underreported source of greenhouse gas (GHG) and air pollutant emissions, particularly in developing and transition economies. This study updates the 2006 IPCC activity inventory methods and subsequent refinements to quantify emissions from open waste burning (OWB) in Asian...
