“…Similarly, indicators such as life expectancy, better life quality, mortality rate, and nutrition level of India's general population are expected to be vulnerable under such conditions of unhygienic water use, consumption of water from eutrophic water bodies, and unavailability of safe drinking water. A comparison study between indicators of SDG 6 and SDG 3 (Good health and wellbeing) done by Biswas et al [109] showed that the increase in consumption of safe drinking water and decrease in open defecation had reduced the mortality rate of India's neonates and children under the age group of 5 3% and 4%, respectively, over the last seventeen years. Parameters regarding water quality, availability, and sanitation combine several indicators that have a direct connection with GHG emissions, life expectancy, and other climatic-socioeconomic aspects of India.…”

“…Parameters regarding water quality, availability, and sanitation combine several indicators that have a direct connection with GHG emissions, life expectancy, and other climatic-socioeconomic aspects of India. Such parameters should be tracked regularly through the water sustainability index [109]. The primary tracking of such indicators will further help in directing our motives towards achieving goals such as SDG 6 and SDG 3.…”

In the modern era, due to urbanization, industrialization, and anthropogenic activities in the catchment, greenhouse gas (GHG; CO2, CH4, and N2O) emissions from freshwater ecosystems received scientific attention because of global warming and future climate impacts. A developing country such as India contributes a huge share (4% of global) of GHGs from its freshwater ecosystems (e.g., rivers, lakes, reservoirs) to the atmosphere. This is the first comprehensive review dealing with the GHG emissions from Indian freshwater bodies. Literature reveals that the majority of GHG from India is emitted from its inland water, with 19% of CH4 flux and 56% of CO2 flux. A large part of India’s gross domestic product (GDP) is manipulated by its rivers. As a matter of fact, 117.8 Tg CO2 year−1 of CO2 is released from its major riverine waters. The potential of GHG emissions from hydropower reservoirs varies between 11–52.9% (mainly CH4 and CO2) because of spatio-temporal variability in the GHG emissions. A significant contribution was also reported from urban lakes, wetlands, and other inland waters. Being a subtropical country, India is one of the global GHG hotspots, having the highest ratio (GHG: GDP) of 1301.79. However, a large portion of India’s freshwater has not been considered yet, and there is a need to account for precise regional carbon budgets. Therefore, in this review, GHG emissions from India’s freshwater bodies, drivers behind GHG emissions (e.g., pH, mean depth, dissolved oxygen, and nutrients), and long-term climatic risks are thoroughly reviewed. Besides research gaps, future directions and mitigation measures are being suggested to provide useful insight into the carbon dynamics (sink/source) and control of GHG emissions.

“…The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations aim to solve several environmental and socioeconomic issues stemming from the Industrial Revolution. For example, Goal 7 aims to ensure everyone can access affordable, dependable, sustainable and modern energy, whereas Goal 12 aspires to promote sustainable consumption and production patterns (Biswas et al, 2022)…”

Purpose Environmental sustainability is quickly becoming one of the most critical issues in industry development. This study aims to conduct a systematic literature review through which the author can provide various research areas to work on for future researchers and provide insight into Industry 4.0 and environmental sustainability. Design/methodology/approach This study accomplishes this by performing a backward analysis using text mining on the Scopus database. Latent semantic analysis (LSA) was used to analyze the corpus of 4,364 articles published between 2013 and 2023. The authors generated ten clusters using keywords in the industrial revolution and environmental sustainability domain, highlighting ten research avenues for further exploration. Findings In this study, three research questions discuss the role of environmental sustainability with Industry 4.0. The author predicted ten clusters treated as recent trends on which more insight is required from future researchers. The authors provided year-wise analysis, top authors, top countries, top sources and network analysis related to the topic. Finally, the study provided industrialization’s effect on environmental sustainability and the future aspect of automation. Research limitations/implications The reliability of the current study may be compromised, notwithstanding the size of the sample used. Poor retrieval of the literature corpus can be attributed to the limitations imposed by the search words, synonyms, string construction and variety of search engines used, as well as to the accurate exclusion of results for which the search string is insufficient. Originality/value This research is the first-ever study in which a natural language processing technique is implemented to predict future research areas based on the keywords–document relationship.
