From biogas production and metallurgical waste recovery to biochars potential in ore treatment, these studies illustrate how circular economy practices can reduce waste, conserve resources, and lower environmental footprints, reinforcing the importance of sustainable industrial processes. Research on air quality monitoring using UAVs, methane mitigation in soils, and the role of geothermal heating plants in reducing emissions showcases practical approaches to mitigating climate change and improving environmental health. Contributions exploring climate impacts on vegetation dynamics, ecotourism as an adaptive strategy, and the resilience of agricultural systems highlight the interconnectedness of human and natural systems, offering actionable insights into preserving the planets ecological balance.
