Cauvery Delta Zone is present in the eastern part of Tamil Nadu, popularly known as ‘rice bowl’ of Tamil Nadu. It constitutes of about 11.1% of total area of the state. It lies between 10.00 and 11.30° N latitude and 78.15°–79.45° E longitude. Cauvery Delta Zone includes the districts of Thanjavur, Thiruvarur, Nagapattinam, Mayiladuthurai, Perambalur and some parts of Pudhukottai and Cuddalore Districts. This zone plays a vital role not only in rice production but also in other varieties of...

In this chapter we extend earlier work (Vinuesa et al., Nat Commun 11, 2020) on the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to achieve the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) proposed by the United Nations (UN) for the 2030 Agenda. The present contribution focuses on three SDGs related to healthy and sustainable societies, i.e., SDG 3 (on good health), SDG 11 (on sustainable cities), and SDG 13 (on climate action). This chapter extends the previous study within those three goals and...

The current climate emergency concerns and the COVID-19 pandemic demand urgent action to maintain healthy indoor environments in energy efficient ways. Promoting good indoor environments, in particular, increasing ventilation levels, has been a prominent strategy to mitigate the risk of COVID-19 transmission indoors. However, this strategy could be detrimental to thermal comfort, particularly during the heating season in buildings located in temperate climate zones. This paper presents...

Concerns about the human effects of climate change have contributed to forecasts of how populations in drought-prone and flood-prone areas would respond to these events. Empirical studies have predicted that human migration has been among the critical resilient strategy in responding to the impact of climate change. To obtain a more comprehensive understanding of the climate–migration relationship, the impacts of climate change on international migration flows from sub-Saharan Africa nations...

The climate change leads to periods of extreme events (i.e. reduction of cold seasons, heat waves, overheating, urban heat island among others) that affect the performance of residential and tertiary buildings with high occupancy (i.e. hospitals, schools, commercial centres, offices etc). However, most of low-carbon policies do not consider the ventilation as a mitigation measure. In fact, a lack of studies on natural ventilation (NV) and mixed-mode (MM) strategies was detected, especially...

There is a growing body of literature that recognizes that natural ventilation plays a vital role in indoor air quality, thermal comfort and building energy consumption. This paper systematically reviews the previously published research of the most efficient and typical natural ventilation type - cross ventilation, aiming to present the main research topics in contemporary research and provide an agenda for future studies. The methodologies, airflow pattern, ventilation models and...
