In Environmental Hazards
Rampant urban sprawl has affected the structure and function of existing urban green and blue spaces, exposing developing cities to unexpected disaster events. Drawing on a mixture of secondary information supported by GIS and field-based studies, we assessed the impact of growing impervious surfaces on the dynamic zones of urban wetlands in Nagpur...

The scientific community generally recommends integrated approaches but has little clear guidance on concrete implementation. This paper reaches two main conclusions. First, environmental...
Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Diffusion and Synergies with Resilience and Adaptation: Workshop Proceedings
Workshop on Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Diffusion and Synergies with Resilience and Adaptation
In a transition to a net-zero world, large-scale solar PV diffusion is essential in the Philippines and the entire ASEAN region, since its potential is much larger than wind and other renewable energies. Considering the vulnerability of the Philippines and accelerating climate change, it is also vital to make sure that net-zero transition based on...
In Urban Foraging in the Changing World
Foraging is collecting wild food in natural areas and is common across urban areas worldwide. However, research on urban foraging has mainly focused on developed countries in the northern hemisphere, and there is insufficient information available from rapidly urbanizing cities of India. The study potentially supports urban foraging in fast-growing...
In Sustainability
The correlation between connecting with nature and fostering pro-environmental behavior is essential to attaining sustainability targets. However, understanding how this connection is cultivated, particularly in the urban settings of the Global South, remains limited. This study delves into the impact of urban green space (UGS) availability on...
