The accelerating global demand for sustainable solutions has catalyzed the integration of emerging technologies with sustainability-driven innovations. This book explores the intersection of technology, engineering, and environmental responsibility through six critical themes: Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Sustainability, Cloud Computing Technologies, Sustainable Energy Technologies, Sustainable Materials and the Built Environment, Sustainable Actions, and Innovative Engineering and Technology.
Artificial intelligence and machine learning play a pivotal role in optimizing resource management and enabling low-carbon decision-making, while cloud computing technologies provide scalable platforms for collaboration and innovation. Sustainable energy technologies such as solar, wind, and bioenergy are examined as vital pathways toward clean power generation. The discussion extends to sustainable materials and the built environment, emphasizing eco-friendly design and circular economy principles. The book also highlights sustainable actions driven by policy, behavioral change, and community engagement. Together, these domains represent a multidisciplinary pathway toward achieving global sustainability goals, fostering a balance between technological advancement and ecological preservation.
This book is a key resource for leaders, academia, policymakers, professionals, and researchers to advance sustainable development through science, technology, and engineering. It provides valuable insights for integrating AI, renewable energy, and sustainable engineering into practical applications for a greener future.
