About the Book
Technologies and Innovations for Sustainable Development offers a comprehensive exploration of cutting-edge solutions that can help us build a greener, more equitable future. Too often, technologies are either not developed for a sufficiently profitable market, or if developed, are not accessible or well-adapted to end-user needs. This edited book seeks to advance knowledge and understanding of how to equitably improve the functioning of the “global innovation system” for sustainable development of technologies. This volume aims to examine specific cases of “system interventions” (e.g., policy interventions, institutional innovations, new approaches to shaping the innovation process, etc.) intended to strengthen the global innovation system, with the broader aim of developing policy recommendations and are generalizable across multiple sectors.
This book brings together contributions from leading experts across diverse fields, showcasing the latest advancements in technology and innovative practices that address pressing sustainability issues. From hydrogen production and fuel blending to waste management and additive manufacturing process and application of emerging technologies such as machine learning, deep learning, and CFD simulation, this book provides a roadmap for harnessing innovation to achieve global sustainability goals.
Key features include:
An integrative overview of emerging and cutting-edge solutions to sustainable development
Discussion on policy framework to address global environmental and public health challenges
Forward-looking insights into emerging trends and future directions in sustainable development.
Whether you are a policymaker, researcher, industry professional, or student, Technologies and Innovations for Sustainable Development is an essential resource for understanding the pivotal role of technology in creating a sustainable future. Join us in exploring the innovations that hold the key to a better world for generations to come.
