“…(1) The construction activity in wetlands needs to be tightly controlled [61]. Through the analysis of the changes in coastal wetland ecosystem services on the south bank of Hangzhou Bay, it was found that the transformation from wetlands to non-wetlands is the main reason for the decrease in ecological benefits.…”

A unique variety of wetlands known as coastal wetlands that connect terrestrial and marine ecosystems is crucial to reducing and adapting to climate change as well as the advancement of human culture. However, the coastal wetland ecosystem is currently in danger as a result of the increasing intensity of human activity, and wetland restoration and reconstruction have garnered a lot of interest. The differentiated ecological restoration strategies based on ecosystem service change analysis can provide a reference for the effective management and sustainability of coastal wetland ecosystems. The InVEST model and ArcGIS were used to analyze the spatiotemporal changes in ecosystem services before and after the implementation of coastal wetland restoration policies based on remote sensing image data, meteorological and soil data, etc. The ecological restoration pattern of coastal wetlands was divided, and the corresponding ecological restoration strategies were proposed in this study. The following are the results: (1) there are still many wetlands that have been converted to non-wetlands following the implementation of the wetland restoration policy, and the ecosystem services as a whole exhibit a rising and then falling trend, with a rise from 2005 to 2015, a fall in 2015 due to the creation of Hangzhou Bay New District, and a slight improvement to 2020. Among them, the water yield increased continuously, the carbon storage fluctuated, and the habitat quality did not improve significantly. (2) The hot spots of ecosystem services were concentrated in the south and southeast of the study area, with no obvious cold spots. (3) By comprehensively analyzing the changes and spatial patterns of ecosystem services, the coastal wetlands on the south bank of Hangzhou Bay were divided into an ecological conservation zone, a green development zone, and an ecological restoration zone at the township level, and corresponding optimization strategies were proposed. The results can provide a reference for the fine-grained and differentiated management of regional ecosystem services.

“…It was done by creating a waste bank, which accommodates and buys plastic waste brought by the community for recycling (Hansen et al, 2013;(Garcia et al, 2019). In addition, with current technological developments, some youths have also developed vending machines specifically for waste that can exchange plastic waste that is thrown into the vending machine into digital money (Sinclair, Sagar, Knudsen, Sabu, & Ghermandi, 2021); (Sambhi & Dahiya, 2020). Furthermore, several youths have also succeeded in converting plastic waste into premium fuel oil and diesel (Li et al, 2022) (Bianchi & da Silva Nogueira, 2019) (Ade et al, 2020)).…”

Global warming is a problem that has not been overcome until now and even tends to get worse. This study was conducted to identify the awareness of the millennial generation as the next generation towards green behavior and the use of eco-products. This study was conducted by following a systematic literature review approach. Research data is collected from scientific journal articles indexed by Scopus and Sinta regarding green behavior and eco-products published in 2016-2021. The data is also focused on studies that make the millennial generation the subject of research. The data collected was then analyzed descriptively qualitatively. This study found that the millennial generation understands and is concerned for the environment and has begun to implement green behavior. This understanding arises because of the availability of various information both in the printed and electronic form regarding the negative impacts of global warming and climate change. Millennials' concern for the environment is shaped by their understanding and regulations to implement green behavior to create a green environment. However, based on data from various sources, the results achieved so far have not shown significant changes to overcome the problems of global warming and climate change which tend to worsen.

“…Even its small portion (one arm) is converted into a freshwater pond using a small dike, and it can meet the water demands of major districts of the state [9,4,5]. A recent study reported that people residing near Ashtamudi Lake are willing to pay for wetland restoration, mangrove conservation, and sustainable fisheries [8].…”

Kerala, the Gods own country, is rich in all the amenities they need for their existence. It is famous for its beauty of nature, greenery, backwaters, rivers, etc. The network of brackish water lakes and river estuaries distributed along the length is the greatest asset of the state. Kerala has 44 rivers. The drainage area and the total flow of some rivers are given in Table 1. Bharathapuzha, Periyar, Chaliyar, Pamba, Kallada, etc. are the major coastal rivers, and Vembanadu and Ashtamudi are the main among the 15 major lakes of Kerala. Major Water Sources in Kerala RainwaterThe average rainfall in the state is 3055 mm, which is double the national average. Kerala receives 69% of the annual rainfall during the Southwest monsoon and 16% during the Northeast monsoon and the remaining during summer (Fig. 1) (Customized Rainfall Information System (CRIS)). The water received as precipitation drains quickly into the sea due to the physiographical pattern and topography of the region. Kerala has been declared as drought-affected as there is a deficiency in rains. The farming activities get affected adversely due to the reduction in the number
