Abstract
Climate change brings more challenges to agriculture, ecosystems, and human health, with increasing incidences of soil degradation, water scarcity, and contamination from heavy metals. Hydrophytes are water-loving plants which offer a sustainable, environment friendly solution through their natural capacity for phytoremediation. The study evaluates the role of hydrophytes in climate change mitigation, and Sustainable Development Goal 13 (SDG13), mainly focusing on the role of hydrophytes in the bioremediation of heavy metals. By utilizing hydrophytes in bioremediation practices, the study explores innovative pathways for developing resilient food systems and restoring aquatic ecosystems amid changing climatic conditions. Integration of hydrophyte-based bioremediation systems into climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies offers a low-cost, nature-based solution, particularly for developing regions. The chapter emphasizes the need for interdisciplinary approaches, supportive policies, and public awareness to harness the full potential of hydrophytes in achieving SDG13.
