Announcements

Glaciers are among the most important components of the Earth’s cryosphere, serving as natural reservoirs of freshwater, regulators of sea levels, and indicators of climate variability. Their role in sustaining ecosystems and human societies is unparalleled, yet they are increasingly threatened by rising global temperatures.

The scientific evidence underscores the alarming rate of glacier retreat, with profound implications for water security, sea-level rise, and the frequency of climate-related hazards such as floods and landslides. The loss of these ice masses not only disrupts hydrological cycles but also poses significant challenges to communities and economies worldwide.

Throughout history, engineering has played an essential role in development and human welfare. Ensuring that future generations of engineers and scientists will be able to design solutions for local and global challenges is critical.

World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development on March 4th aims to raise awareness of the role of engineering in modern life, which is essential to mitigate the impact of climate change and advancing sustainable development, especially in Africa and Small Island Developing States (SIDS). This year’s theme is “Unleashing the Power of Engineers to Advance the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)”.

Sustainability has always been a core value of MDPI, starting with the collection and preservation of rare chemical samples that started in 1996 and led to the first journal, Molecules (ISSN: 1420-3049). As a global enterprise, it is our duty to advance responsible practices that will ensure a bright future for our planet. MDPI’s commitment to sustainability is focused on open access publishing that promotes content related not only to environmental sustainability, but to all 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) defined by the UN.

To commemorate this special day, we invite you to explore a curation of insightful journals, articles, and Special Issues in the field of engineering. By sharing these findings, we hope to inspire the next generation of engineers, elevate engineering capacities, and contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Special Issues:

On World Seagrass Day, we celebrate the crucial role that seagrasses play in maintaining the health of our planet and highlight the urgent need for global action to protect them and the ecosystems they maintain. Seagrasses support food security, mitigate climate change, enrich biodiversity, purify water, protect coastlines, and control diseases. The enhancement of ecosystem services and functions are essential to the achievement of international Sustainable Development Goals. Raising awareness of the crucial role of seagrasses in ecosystem maintenance and facilitating their conservation is therefore of great importance.

In celebration of this day, we invite you to explore a selection of insightful articles, journals, and Special Issues in the fields of environment and ecology. These resources aim to deepen our understanding of the importance of seagrass ecosystems and outline the necessary steps to conserve, protect, and restore these vital habitats. By fostering dialogue between researchers, policymakers, local communities, and other stakeholders, we can ensure that efforts to protect seagrasses are effective and inclusive.

Together, we can safeguard the future of seagrasses and, in turn, our planet.

World Wetlands Day is celebrated each year on 2 February to raise awareness about wetlands. This day also marks the anniversary of the Convention on Wetlands, which was adopted as an international treaty in 1971.

Nearly 90% of the world’s wetlands have been degraded since the 1700s, and we are losing wetlands three times faster than forests. Yet, wetlands are critically important ecosystems that contribute to biodiversity, climate mitigation and adaptation, freshwater availability, world economies and more.

“Protecting Wetlands for Our Common Future” is the theme for World Wetlands Day 2025.
