Resumo
The loss of the services provided by ecosystems affects the well-being of people and
compromises development in its multiple dimensions. In megacities, the promotion of human well-being
and the conservation and restoration of ecosystems and their services are urgent global challenges,
especially as a function of the growing expansion of water scarcity and its tendency to worsen due to
the effects of climate change. This article addresses the growing use and application of nuclear science
and technology for the conservation, assessment, and restoration of ecosystems and their services. It
focus on water security and climate change, and on how this contributes to the fulfillment of the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Tools based on nuclear science provide solutions for the
development of "climate-smart" agricultural methods; the study of terrestrial, aquatic and atmospheric
systems; monitoring how climate change affects the environment and GHG routes, and their distribution
and impact on ecosystems, among other aspects. Nuclear technologies are used for wastewater
treatment, identification of pollution sources, studies on the quality and quantity of water resources, and
adaptation to climate change. The demystification of nuclear science and technology and the increase
in collaboration between the ecosystem services and nuclear areas, and society as a whole, are
fundamental for facing the global challenges related to water and climate in large cities.
