Since then, it has actively engaged worldwide in various endeavors and accomplishments, committed to the United Nations Sustainability Development Goals [1]. In 2015, all UN member states adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals, aiming to promote peace, prosperity, and environmental sustainability for both present and future generations [2]. IAAM's agenda for the decade is committed to the \"Advancement of Materials to Sustainable and Green World\", which signifies a substantial undertaking in global policy and governance [3]. IAAM's primary focus for 2030 is on advancing materials towards the development of green technologies and contributing towards the building of a 'Climate Neutral Society' through a circular process of environmental restoration. It is worth noting that since 1970, the Asia-Pacific emerging economies have quadrupled the global materials footprint, which has plateaued since 2014 [4]. IAAM emphasizes the importance of inclusive sustainable principles with embedding the advancement of climate-efficient materials. The combined biomass, fossil fuels, and mineral extraction increased from 48 to 69 billion metric tons between 1995 and 2008 [5]. This outcome indicates that secular structural changes and technological advances alone are insufficient to limit material use. Recognizing the significance of IAAM's climate activities, the 2023 United Nations Water Conference has accredited the association for its water and climate change activities related to UN SDG Goal 6 [6]. These activities align with the action plans of the water conference, which aim to ensure global water sustainability. Fig. 1 represents IAAM's activities at the UN 2023 Water Conference held in New York. The conference is persistent on Sustainable Development Goal 6, addressing climate The International Association for Advanced Materials is optimistic that the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) can be achieved through scientific consideration of circular materials and embracing new green technological advances, as well as by keeping global commitments to reduce climate change, adapt to it, and come up with new ways to deal with it. The present green transition projects rely heavily on the accessibility of biodiversity, climate, and net-zero technologies leading to a sustainable future. A sustainable and green world refers to a global society that operates in harmony with nature, respects ecological limits, and ensures social and economic well-being for present and future generations. It is characterized by responsible resource management, reduced environmental impact, social equity, and the protection of ecosystems. In the context of effective climate resource management, it is necessary to recognize the value of natural materials and incorporate them into ongoing practic","PeriodicalId":7281,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Materials Letters","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85749827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tiwari","doi":"10.5185/amlett.2023.021723","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5185/amlett.2023.021723","url":null,"abstract":"People, communities, ecosystems, and systems can anticipate, adapt, and recover from climate change. To align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) of the United Nations for 2030, effective management of water resources must recognise the value of water and incorporate this recognition into decision-making processes [1]. The demand for water resources has experienced a significant increase due to rapid population growth, urbanisation, and increasing water requirements in agriculture, industry, and the energy sector [2,3]. The risks of mismanagement of water can jeopardise lives and disrupt livelihoods, underscoring the urgency of addressing water-related disasters [4]. Sustainable water resource management required climate resilience, focussed on the IAAM's W119 Side Event at the UN 2023 Water Conference in New York. The two-day side event discussed climate change's effects on floods and droughts. In the current era, achieving climate neutrality through national diplomacy is crucial to achieving global sustainability. Unless progress quadruples, billions of people will still lack access to these basic services by 2030. The inadequate state of water treatment facilities, the emergence of new pollutants, and widespread water pollution all contribute to the exacerbation of this problem. Consequently, ensuring water security requires a concerted effort to mitigate the adverse consequences of floods and droughts. The United Nations decade of action on water and sanitation completes the comprehensive review, at the United Nations 2023 Water Conference (2018-2028) [5]. Fig. 1 shows a glimpse of the IAAM’s W119 side event during midterm comprehensive review of the international decade of action, water for sustainable development, 2018-2028. During the UN 2023 Water Conference, the IAAM delegation engaged in exchanges and talks with ministers, political figures, committee members, directors, organisational heads, commissioners, and experts. Achieving sustainable practices in the medium and long term requires the implementation of intelligent strategies that encompass both natural and engineered solutions. By effectively storing water in environmentally friendly and resilient grey infrastructures, we can achieve a harmonious equilibrium between the demand for water and its supply, while considering reasonable economic, ecological, and social implications. Since civilisation began, water withdrawals from aquifers, lakes, streams, river diversions, and damming have altered the water cycle, which plays a crucial role in shaping life on Earth. The current state of flood and drought highlights the crucial importance of better water resource management. It involves building a sustainable water resource capacity and implementing strategies to minimise vulnerabilities, enhance adaptive capacity, and promote sustainable development in the face of a changing climate.
