The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has changed the world, creating the need for new actions from society, including universities and companies. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are part of a global agenda, but this priority is not significant to university students. Although some research has focused on SDGs and university students, there is a lack of evaluation and comparison in Latin American countries. The current study aims to evaluate student knowledge of the SDGs, the relation of student professional careers to the SDGs, the importance of the SDGs for economic development after the COVID-19 pandemic, and student interest research in SDG issues. The study is carried out with students in Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, and Peru. The instrument was developed and validated. The highest score of level of knowledge was reported in Mexico and the lowest score in Colombia. This outcome can be explained by the availability of training programs in the universities about SDGs. The availability of programs created and promoted by the governments can also be a reason; however, students from Mexico are the ones who felt the most that the authorities are not making efforts to promote the SDGs. With research interests, interests in creating sustainable cities and communities, and responsible consumption and production were recognized for the four countries. The outcomes reveal several interesting insights through comparisons among the four countries considered according to descriptive analyses. Some SDGs were found to be more important for some countries than others. Interests were noted in research on some SDGs.

“…While the research on SDG 13 mainstreaming at the local level is growing, best practice actions for climate adaptation to strengthen resilience against natural hazards at the local level through SDG localization are not being effectively communicated to local actors or in scholarship. Researchers argue that it is difficult to determine if Target 13.1 has been effectively achieved due to the limited measurable indicators for SDG 13 that can be adapted at the municipal level [87]. For example, only one indicator is used to measure progress following implementation, which is 13.1.1 on disaster-related deaths and injuries [84].…”

Localizing Sustainable Development Goal 13 on Climate Action to Build Local Resilience to Floods in the Hunter Valley: A Literature Review

et al. 2023

The realization of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development requires local governments globally to integrate Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into their policy and practice. In the case of the Hunter Valley Region of Australia, a key sustainable development issue is climate change-induced flooding. The localization and mainstreaming of SDG 13 on climate action can support tangible municipal climate actions in the Region. However, while it is acknowledged that SDG localization is needed to address sustainable development challenges, there is a gap in research and practice to guide local government attempts at SDG localization. This research analyzes literature on SDG localization to understand strategies, challenges and gaps that can inform localization approaches for the Hunter Valley. An analysis of the literature revealed that the implementation of SDG 13 at the local government level is a sparsely researched area, and in practice, efforts to implement SDG 13 have not been publicly communicated. Research-based recommendations for SDG 13 localization are presented to highlight the potential of integrating SDGs into pre-existing local policy so that the SDGs and their targets can support climate action and decrease disaster risk of future floods in Hunter Valley communities.

“…SCs will likely play a crucial role in decoupling anthropogenic activities from environmental impacts as SCs can be used in electric vehicles, renewable energy generation systems, and many other applications. Furthermore, renewable sources of carbonaceous materials can often be used in the development of their electrodes. ,− Given these perceived environmental advantages and foreseen important role of EES technologies in the domain of sustainable developments, − there is a solid incentive to verify and maximize their environmental performance through a formal assessment.…”

Supercapacitors have numerous applications in which high power, long cycle life, and rapid recharging are required. However, the environmental assessment of supercapacitors has been limited despite their potential to decouple anthropogenic activities from environmental impacts. The present work assesses the environmental performance of two supercapacitor architectures at a future point in time when technology maturity has been realized by conducting an ex-ante prospective life cycle assessment. The supercapacitors investigated involve either an aqueous electrolyte, i.e., sulfuric acid (1.5 M H 2 SO 4 ), or an ionic liquid, i.e., 1methyl-1-propylpyrrolidinium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (MPPyFSI). To perform this prospective assessment, life cycle inventories were built and scaled up to emulate the optimized industrial production conditions. In the process, new inventories for specialty chemicals (i.e., MPPyFSI and its precursors) were devised and disclosed as part of this LCA. Three functional units were considered for the environmental comparison between the two supercapacitors. The functional units considered are specific capacitance with respect to the supply voltage (1 F supplied at 3.5 V), time-restricted power output (1 W supplied for 1 min), and sustained energy delivery for a fixed duration (1 W h supplied in 1 min). The selection of the functional unit is crucial and should be based on the intended application of the supercapacitor, as guided by the IEC 62391-1 standard. Life cycle impact assessment results revealed the improved environmental performance of MPPyFSI over H 2 SO 4 supercapacitors for all functional units adopted in this work. Around 60−80% lower carbon emissions and energy demand are observed for the ionic liquid-based supercapacitor. In conclusion, the supercapacitor's vital role in achieving energy transition goals motivates further environmental assessment using the life cycle assessment methodology. Furthermore, to ensure consistency, comparability, and reproducibility of future research, the functional unit should be harmonized following the footsteps of those in the field of batteries and photovoltaics.
