How microalgal biotechnology can assist with the UN Sustainable Development Goals for natural resource management
A key interlinking factor of many global issues is the accumulated negative effects of pollution and poor resource/land management of our remaining natural resources. Emerging applications of microalgal biotechnology demonstrate the potential for microalgae to solve some of these challenges by reduc...

| description | A key interlinking factor of many global issues is the accumulated negative effects of pollution and poor resource/land management of our remaining natural resources. Emerging applications of microalgal biotechnology demonstrate the potential for microalgae to solve some of these challenges by reducing aquatic pollutants, as well as providing a source of sustainably produced feedstock for product development. This review describes how microalgal biotechnology can assist in the achievement of a number of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals, including Zero Hunger, Clean Water and Sanitation, Affordable and Clean Energy, Responsible Consumption and Production, Life Below Water and Life on Land. |
