Abstract:
In 2015, the United Nations General Assembly launched seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), aimed at being achieved by 2030. The SDGs 6 (clean water & sanitation) and 13 (climate actions) are two critically important goals concerning water resources that need to be addressed. This study used the Scopus database to explore climate extremes, specifically droughts and floods, in East Asia and highlight the region\'s efforts and contributions towards achieving SDGs 6 and 13. We found that even before the implementation of SDGs, the topics related to solving the problems of water resources, water quality, and treatment of wastewater using different conceptual models and methodologies were the main concerns in the region. The adoption of SDGs has led to a heightened focus on water and climate sustainability in East Asia, with the considerable surge in climate-related studies after 2019. Under SDG 13, all countries have contributed substantially to climate action research. Keyword analysis indicates that climate change, water management, water treatment, water quality, and adsorption remain prominent. SDGs 6 and 13 have emerged as crucial areas of focus for research and initiatives as the global community grapples with escalating water resources and climate challenges. Under specific keywords search, China has 2nd place in the search with climate and water during the SDGs period, accounting for 21 % of the entire publication from 2015 to 2023. Japan and South Korea account for of 4 % and 3 %, respectively. The research on floods and droughts has garnered significant attention, with half of the ten highly co-cited literature examining the changing pattern of drought, the influence of extreme events on crop yield, and other related topics. Despite the positive contribution of the East Asia region towards SDGs 6 and 13, there is still an urgent need for a more robust framework to improve the complex interconnections between climate actions, clean water, and sanitation for a sustainable soil-water-plant-atmosphere ecosystem.
摘要:
2015年,联合国大会发布了十七个可持续发展目标(SDG)。目标是到2030年实现。可持续发展目标6(清洁水和卫生)和13(气候行动)是需要解决的关于水资源的两个至关重要的目标。这项研究使用了Scopus数据库来探索极端气候,特别是干旱和洪水,并强调该地区为实现可持续发展目标6和13所做的努力和贡献。我们发现,即使在可持续发展目标实施之前,与解决水资源问题有关的主题,水质,使用不同的概念模型和方法处理废水是该区域的主要关切。可持续发展目标的采用导致东亚地区更加关注水和气候的可持续性。随着2019年后气候相关研究的大幅增加。根据可持续发展目标13,所有国家都为气候行动研究做出了重大贡献。关键词分析表明,气候变化,水管理,水处理,水质,和吸附仍然突出。随着全球社会努力应对不断升级的水资源和气候挑战,可持续发展目标6和13已成为研究和倡议的关键领域。在特定关键字搜索下,中国在可持续发展目标期间的气候和水搜索中排名第二,占2015年至2023年整个出版物的21%。日本和韩国分别占4%和3%,分别。关于洪水和干旱的研究引起了极大的关注,在十篇高度共同引用的文献中,有一半研究了干旱的变化模式,极端事件对作物产量的影响,和其他相关主题。尽管东亚地区对可持续发展目标6和13做出了积极贡献,但仍迫切需要一个更强有力的框架来改善气候行动之间复杂的相互联系。干净的水,和卫生设施,以实现可持续的土壤-水-植物-大气生态系统。
