With less than a decade until we reach 2030, it is crucial to address the deep inequalities affecting not only our health but also our quality of life, and the economy of countries worldwide. Few of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) can be directly and indirectly achieved through the implementation of renewable energy systems, with a significant role being played by solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. Solar PV systems are considered one of the most efficient methods of providing clean electrical energy, which is vital to attaining these goals. Numerous researchers across the globe are currently focusing on improving efficiency, reducing costs, recycling, reconfiguring, and developing materials for solar PV systems. By utilizing renewable energy systems for daily needs such as power generation, agriculture, EV charging, among others, we can contribute to effectively achieving the SDGs. However, it is essential to assess and highlight the level of attainment of SDGs in ongoing research of solar PV systems. This topic aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the goals and bridge the gap between research and the aim of research in SDGs.

It has now been 25 years since the apocryphal report in the CDC Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report dated June 5, 1981 entitled, “Pneumocystis Pneumonia - Los Angeles”, which announced what was to become HIV/AIDS. HIV has now affected virtually all countries that have looked for it and has had a devastating impact on the public health and medical care infrastructure around the world. HIV/AIDS has also disproportionately affected nations with the least capacity to confront it, especially the developing world nations in Sub-Saharan Africa, South and Southeast Asia, and the emerging republics of Eastern and Central Asia. The pandemic, unlike any other disease of our time, has had profound...
