The growing need for energy resources and the urgent needed action for climate change competing lead to conflict between all sectors on how to meet the needs without causing environmental degradation. By looking for alternatives source between the renewable resources ‫؛‬the best selection meets the needs is biofuel. Out of Biofuel types, Biodiesel is a great and clean selection of energy resources. Biodiesel prepared from many feedstocks to extract fatty acid from different generations of biodiesel, each generation has its limitation thought looking for viable and cost-effective feedstock ‫؛‬ In this paper we discuss the use of agricultural waste as feedstock for biodiesel preparation using oleaginous fungi as mini-factories.

“…Meanwhile, geopolitical tensions, economic pressures, and stretched energy systems have been increasingly evident, often interacting in challenging ways. Whilst COP27 in Sharm El-Sheikh made only marginal progress in abating greenhouse gas emissions, it did deliver a significant and hopeful advance on loss and damage [2,3]. This year has also been notable for a growing recognition of the need for interlinked action on climate and biodiversity, for example through incorporation of a climate target in the post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework [4], and of the need for integrated research and policy programmes to address the nexuses between climate and food, water and security.Against this global backdrop, PLOS Climate has had an extraordinary first year as a new venue for peer-reviewed climate research.…”

It has been a turbulent year for the global climate on many levels. The dramatic impacts of climate change on the earth systems, including extreme weather events, continue to manifest [1]. Meanwhile, geopolitical tensions, economic pressures, and stretched energy systems have been increasingly evident, often interacting in challenging ways. Whilst COP27 in Sharm El-Sheikh made only marginal progress in abating greenhouse gas emissions, it did deliver a significant and hopeful advance on loss and damage [2,3]. This year has also been notable for a growing recognition of the need for interlinked action on climate and biodiversity, for example through incorporation of a climate target in the post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework [4], and of the need for integrated research and policy programmes to address the nexuses between climate and food, water and security.Against this global backdrop, PLOS Climate has had an extraordinary first year as a new venue for peer-reviewed climate research. Since our first articles were published in February 2022 and we set ourselves a crucial mission [5], we've been delighted to see the journal develop into a flourishing, energetic worldwide community of authors, reviewers and editors. We have published articles across our broad and multidisciplinary scope, from basic climate science through to research on policy and governance at local to global scales. This wealth of original research has been accompanied by a series of timely Reviews, and by thoughtfully-written Opinions that have addressed current issues in climate science, policy and practice, and identified priorities for future research.We've also been driving our mission forward by reaching out to those global and regional communities we aim to serve, whether that be directly, or through partners and collaborators across the world. We will continue to prioritise making PLOS Climate a truly inclusive home for research from all regions. It has been a privilege to connect with researchers and practitioners working across the climate space at conferences, through visits to institutions and online events, and to hear direct from them how we can best meet their needs. We have particularly enjoyed opportunities to speak to early career researchers and hear their particular perspectives-not just on the substance of their research, but also on their experiences in academia and publishing. We look forward to partnering closely with them in future activities.One of our key areas of focus has been the interface between research and policy, and we have been working hard with our editorial board to explore ways in which PLOS Climate can connect scientific research with policy-and decision-makers, and provide a forum for discussion of research-policy interactions. This will remain an important priority for the journal in 2023 and beyond, and we hope to continue building a network of connections with stakeholders across this interface.Furthering Open Science is a fundamental part of PLOS Climate's mission, and we have relished the opportun...

This paper conducts a semisystematic literature review from 2021 to 2023, focusing on loss and damage (L&D). Drawing upon the works of various scholars, it synthesizes critical concerns raised in the literature and assesses whether these concerns were addressed by the Transitional Committee's report on the operationalization of the new funding arrangements for responding to loss and damage, as outlined in COP 28 decisions 1/CP.28 and 5/CMA.5. By analyzing scholarly discussions on L&D leading up to COP 28, the study gauges the extent to which academic concerns have been addressed and identifies areas requiring improvement for better management of climate change‐induced L&D effects. The findings provide valuable insights for ongoing deliberations on the Loss and Damage Fund (LDF), offering guidance for policymakers as they address these challenges. Additionally, the paper informs future policy directions to ensure responsiveness to the needs of communities affected by climate change‐induced L&D. Lastly, the study contributes to ongoing scholarly dialogues by laying the groundwork for future research endeavors in this critical area.
