• The Future of Climate-Smart Water Management: A Systematic Review of the Convergence of Artificial Intelligence, Nature-Based Solutions, and Adaptive Governance in Sub-Saharan Africa (2026) · Sustainability · doi

  The existing literature on climate-smart water management is limited and fragmented. There is a need for a comprehensive review of the convergence of Artificial Intelligence, Nature-Based Solutions, and adaptive governance in supporting climate-smart water management. The evidence base remains limited and fragmented, with a need for further research on the integrated implementation of these approaches.

• The Future of Climate-Smart Water Management: A Systematic Review of the Convergence of Artificial Intelligence, Nature-Based Solutions, and Adaptive Governance in Sub-Saharan Africa (2026) · Sustainability · doi

  Weak institutional capacity and fragmented governance structures are major implementation challenges for climate-smart water management. The interaction of institutional, financial, technological, and socio-economic barriers hinders the adoption and scaling of integrated climate-resilient water management strategies. Effective adaptive governance requires institutional flexibility, coordination across governance levels, and mechanisms for collaborative learning, which are often lacking in Sub-Saharan Africa.

• Climate-Driven Water Scarcity and Its Public Health Implications: A Multi-Regional Assessment Across Vulnerable Socio-Ecological Systems (2026) · Water · cited 9× · doi

  Current adaptation measures are fragmented, highlighting the need for integrated water governance to build climate resilience. There is a need for a multi-regional assessment of the health impacts of climate-driven water scarcity. The study highlights the importance of considering the social and economic factors that influence the health impacts of climate-driven water scarcity.

• Education as a Climate Mitigation Agent: Reimagining Education Policy for Climate Resilience, Sustainable Economies, and Environmental Futures (2026) · International Journal of Social Sciences Language and Linguistics · doi

  While education is widely recognised as essential for developing climate awareness and environmental responsibility, its potential as a strategic agent of climate mitigation, adaptation, and resilience remains insufficiently embedded within education policy and wider climate-governance frameworks.
