“…Contribution of scientists in different disciplines enlightens policy-makers and politicians on certain goals that need to be addressed in the future as well as on the extent of success or failure in achieving a certain goal. The SDGs are based on the presence of serious global problems that need to be addressed and solved through research and innovation [ 12 ]. Researchers are in a position to provide genuine solutions and inventions to various national and international problems facing the pathway to achieving the 2030 agenda [ 10 ].…”

Background Global progress in the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) requires significant national and international research efforts and collaboration. The current study aimed to provide policymakers, academics, and researchers with a snapshot of global SDGs-related research activity. Method This was a cross-sectional descriptive bibliometric study. SciVerse Scopus was used to retrieve SDGs-related research publications for the period from 2015 to 2019. Results In total, 18,696 documents were found. The Sustainability journal ranked first ( n = 1008; 5.4%) in the number of SDGs-related publications. The World Health Organization was the most active institution in publishing SDGs-related documents ( n = 581; 1.3%). Most of the retrieved documents belonged to SDG 17 (partnership) followed by SDG 13 (climate action), and SDG 12 (responsible consumption and production), while SDG 7 (affordable and clean energy) had the least number of publications. The European region ( n = 9756; 52.2%) had the highest research contribution while the Eastern Mediterranean region ( n = 1052; 5.6%) had the least contribution. After exclusion of SDG 17, the SDG 3 (good health and well-being) was the top researched SDG for the African region, the Eastern Mediterranean regions, and the South-Eastern Asian region. For the region of the Americas, European region, and the Western Pacific region, the SDG 13 (climate action) was the most researched. The SDG 7 (affordable and clean energy) was the least researched in the African region, the region of the Americas, the European region, and the South-East Asian region. In the Eastern Mediterranean region, SDG 10 (reduced inequality) was the least researched while in the Western Pacific region, SDG 5 (gender inequality) was the least researched. The most researched targets of SDG 3 were targets 7 (sexual and reproductive health services) and 8 (universal health coverage) while the least researched targets were 5 (substance use disorders) and 9 (death from hazardous materials). International research collaboration within SDG 3 between high- and low-income countries was inadequate. Conclusion The analysis presented in the current study are useful for researchers, institutes, governments, funding agencies, and policy-makers. Countries in Africa, the Middle East, and South-East Asia need to increase their funding and research collaboration in the field of SDGs.

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) has been recognized as one major technology that could sustain a greener environment. Because of the constant use of fuel for power generation, which releases CO2 that could be sequestered in geologic sites preventing their eventual release to the atmosphere. This study used Afam IV Gas Turbines in Nigeria as a case study and evaluated the emission of CO2 from the plants and the technoeconomic analysis of transporting captured CO2 from this power plant to Jones Creek (the proposed sequestration site in this study). The CO2 emission factor was determined from the daily energy generation from the gas consumption of the two turbines at the plant. Pipe Flo Professional 14 software was used for the pipeline design that was used for the transportation. The CO2 emissions from the two turbines were found to have a flow rate of 0.68kg/s, requiring 4,416kW and 61.402kW of compressor power and pump power, respectively, each at 85% efficiency. This power requirement constitutes 3.44% of 130MW of the installed capacity of the two turbines at Afam IV. The capacity of Jones Creek was found to be 8.94x10 6 m 3 , and the pipeline cost for the transportation of CO2 was found to be ₦21.994Billion. The National Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) Multi-Year Tariff Order (MYTO) D3 billing rose to 600% during the construction period but dropped to 19% increment beyond the construction period as a result of the CO2 compression and transportation. It is recommended that the Federal Government of Nigeria should start to implement policies that would propel oil and gas companies in Nigeria to start considering CCS as an emission mitigation option in Nigeria.

“…To illustrate, it is helpful to examine the three sets of goals used for different time horizons: the short-term (2015) goals of the United Nations Millennium Declaration, the short-term (2015) goals of the United Nations Millennium Declaration; the two-generation transition goals of the Council for Sustainable Development (2050); and the long-term (post-2050) goals of the Great Transition of the Global Scenario Group. Fayomi et al (2018) argue that the eight MDGs are: to reduce deprivation significantly; achieve the learning goals; promote gender equality; reduce child mortality; improve maternal well-being; combat HIV/AIDS, intestinal diseases and various ailments; ensure ecological support; and to create a universal development organization. Díaz-López et al (2021) argue that the article comprehensively analyses the MDGs.…”

The article validates the assumptions of implementing sustainable development goals (SDGs) using communication tools from a theoretical point of view. The research investigates the possibilities of implementing the SDGs through communication tools. 198 respondents took part in the study. Analytical descriptive, quantitative and statistical methods were used. The quantitative research strategy (questionnaire survey) was used to determine respondents' attitudes towards the SDGs in the environmental, social and economic spheres, to identify their experiences of engaging with the SDGs and to explore the possibilities of managing the SDGs using communication tools. Quantitative data analysis was carried out by calculating the analysis of variance (ANOVA) and percentage distribution (frequency). The results showed that more than two-thirds of the respondents were self-critical about their efforts to engage with the SDGs, with an overall mean score of M = 4.81 out of a maximum of 10. The research also found that more than half of the respondents are sometimes influenced and encouraged to act by the information provided on sustainable development and its implementation, and almost a quarter of the respondents are strongly influenced by the information towards the implementation of sustainable development principles. This confirms the importance of communication as one of the possible solutions to the implementation of the SDGs and indicates the need to find more effective means of information to enable the use of the chosen means of communication to shape attitudes towards sustainable development by exploiting the potential of television and websites, which, according to respondents' assessments, are the most frequent means of receiving information on sustainable development processes. The research results also revealed the need to strengthen the social responsibility of organizations and organize courses and training, which, according to the participants, need to be sufficiently exploited in the context of the prerequisites for disseminating sustainable development objectives and their implementation. The research results will have a lasting value for the scientific debate on the impact of the communication tools used in the implementation of the SDGs and their practical implications for the provision of guidelines for the management of sustainable development processes through communication tools.
