Climate justice is a new issue in terms of its aim to resolve an emerging and very complex set of problems, including woman empowerment, health and economic development, food and poverty, security and conflict. In addition, the added stressor of climate change is exacerbating deficiencies, particularly in the developing world. One of the key components to ensuring climate justice is the provision of safe and reliable water and sanitation services which, as agreed for the first time by the UN Congress in 2010, is a basic human right and forms part of SDG6.

The mechanical behaviour of microscale structures such as microscale beams and plates are highly nonlinear in many practical cases due to large applied forces as well as strong interactions between different parts at microscales. In applications such as resonators, sensors and generators, in which the mechanical behaviour plays a crucial role, understanding the nonlinear response becomes important [1-5]. In recent years, a number of size-dependent elasticity-based models have been used to analyze the static stability, time-dependent deformation and static deformation of the structural components of microscale and nanoscale systems [6-9]. The appropriate elasticity-based model is selected according to the size of the structural component. The couple stress and strain gradient theories as well as their modified versions are mainly utilised for structures at microscales [10-15]. However, the nonlocal elasticity-based models such as the pure nonlocal elasticity [16-23] and nonlocal str...
