Vol. 16 No. 1 (2025): Sustainability in Debate / Sustentabilidade em Debate
This issue of Sustainability in Debate brings together nine articles addressing urgent and diverse sustainability challenges, with a focus on socio-environmental conflicts, productive inclusion, health, urban mobility, food systems, and technological innovation.
Three articles explore the territorial and social impacts of extractive activities: the weakening of environmentalism in Brazil, the effects of mining on rental prices in Ouro Preto (MG), and the social tensions caused by lithium exploitation in Peru. Others examine inclusive and sustainable alternatives, such as rural innovation niches in the Brazilian Northeast and the coexistence of hegemonic and peripheral healthcare systems.
Urban and consumption-related issues are tackled through studies on medication disposal in Araçatuba (SP), urban mobility challenges in João Pessoa (PB), and the environmental footprints of Brazilian adolescents' diets. The issue closes with a contribution on the role of artificial intelligence in strengthening the sustainability of agri-food value chains in Africa.
