Summary: Transportation is a crucial part of modern societies, but it also contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, health hazards, and economic costs. However, innovations in vehicle technology, mobile connectivity, computing hardware, and artificial intelligence have created a smart sustainable mobility ecosystem, which also presents unique challenges. The involvement of the information systems community in researching smart mobility has been limited, but they have the potential to address societal challenges in this sector. The research framework and opportunities presented in this article aim to stimulate impactful and structured research in the area.

Summary: New approaches, such as Participatory Action Research (PAR), are necessary for achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). PAR involves scientists and stakeholders in a systematic engagement process, expanding on the scientific process. In this study, two decades of PAR in rural communities in Malawi are examined to demonstrate iterative co-learning cycles. The findings highlight the importance of agricultural diversity beyond agroforestry, the value of intermediate growth habits, and the role of PAR in meeting local needs and addressing SDGs.

Summary: ARZIBs have demonstrated promising potential as advanced energy storage devices due to their high safety and low electrode cost. However, the poor cyclic stability and rate performance of electrodes have limited their practical applications. In this study, a novel ARZIBs configuration consisting of Cr3+-substituted Cu-Rich Prussian blue analogues cathode, electrodeposited zinc nanosheets on copperclad carbon framework anode, and Zn(OTf)2-based electrolyte with ethylene sulfate is proposed to improve the performance of ARZIBs.

Summary: This research proposes a community approach to study the six different biological carbon pumps in the World Ocean, involving the measurement of variables and processes, spatial and temporal scales, key regions, observational strategies, and upscaling of results using deterministic models, data assimilation, and machine learning. The approach has the potential to bring together a multidisciplinary community of researchers and lead to new discoveries in ocean sciences.

Summary: Non-floodplain wetlands (NFWs) are important and fragile freshwater systems. The lack of consistent terminology and regional biases hinder global collaboration. However, there is more that unites NFW research and management efforts. Improved cohesion in classification and terminology, as well as a focus on wetland functionality, can facilitate better collaboration.

Summary: The Coral Triangle region is facing issues with unsustainable reef tourism due to imbalanced carrying capacity and inappropriate public behavior. However, there is an increasing awareness and preference for sustainable reef conservation (SRC). This study evaluates tourists' preferences for SRC programs using a choice experiment in Karimunjawa National Park, Indonesia. The findings indicate that tourists prefer boat anchoring at mooring buoys, fewer boats, smaller tourist groups with interpretation, additional information boards, and environmental awareness education. Most tourists preferred the alternative SRC program and had heterogeneous preferences, with the integrative program scenario generating the highest value compared to others.

Summary: Sustainable entrepreneurship contributes to sustainable development by integrating social, environmental, and economic factors and turning market failures into business opportunities. However, institutional barriers often hinder sustainable entrepreneurs. This study explores how policy can support sustainable entrepreneurship through a crowdsourcing approach, proposing a multi-level policy framework and identifying six mechanisms and three policy objectives to create favorable conditions for sustainable ventures.
