Abstract

Background. Climate change has emerged as a major threat to global food security, profoundly affecting food availability, accessibility, utilization, and stability, with direct consequences for human nutrition and health. Disruptions in food systems caused by rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and environmental degradation have intensified nutritional vulnerabilities, particularly among low-income and climate-sensitive populations. Purpose. This study aims to explore how climate change impacts food systems and to assess the resulting nutritional and health consequences across different socio-economic contexts. Method. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining secondary data analysis from global food security, climate, and nutrition databases with a systematic review of peer-reviewed literature and international reports. Descriptive and comparative analyses were used to identify patterns of vulnerability, while thematic analysis was applied to examine pathways linking climate stressors, food systems, and nutritional outcomes. Results. The results indicate that climate change significantly undermines food system resilience, leading to reduced dietary diversity, increased micronutrient deficiencies, and heightened risks of malnutrition. The impacts are most pronounced in regions with limited adaptive capacity and weak food governance structures. Conclusion. The study concludes that strengthening food system resilience through climate-adaptive policies, sustainable agricultural practices, and integrated nutrition strategies is essential to mitigate health risks and ensure long-term food security in a changing climate.

Abstract

Background. Rapid urbanization and industrial growth have exacerbated waste generation worldwide, challenging traditional waste management systems and threatening environmental sustainability. Linear disposal practices often lead to resource depletion, pollution, and increased greenhouse gas emissions. Circular economy principles offer a strategic framework to transform waste streams into valuable resources, emphasizing reuse, recycling, and technological innovation for sustainable management. Purpose. This study aims to investigate how technological innovations can enable circular economy practices in waste management, enhance resource recovery, and minimize environmental impacts. The research evaluates the effectiveness of advanced waste treatment technologies, process optimization, and material recovery strategies across diverse urban and industrial contexts. Method. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining systematic literature review, technical performance analysis, and comparative case studies of innovative waste management systems. Data on recycling efficiency, resource recovery rates, energy recovery, and environmental impacts were collected and analyzed to assess the practical contribution of technological interventions. Results. Results indicate that integration of automation, smart sorting, bioconversion, and advanced material recovery significantly improves resource efficiency and reduces landfill dependency. Case studies demonstrate measurable reductions in waste volumes, improved material circularity, and enhanced sustainability outcomes. Conclusion. The study concludes that technological innovation is critical for operationalizing circular economy principles in waste management systems, providing both environmental and economic benefits while supporting sustainable urban development.
