This book offers innovative and contemporary approaches to sustainable development. These approaches are in agreement with the United Nations Goals in sustainable development. To this end, in this book, a variety of solutions for sustainable development will be provided by bringing together researchers, scientists and practitioners who explore four main aspects of sustainable development; Sustainable Environments, Renewable Energy, Global Warming, and Eco Systems. Investigating these aspects is searched through indicators about each aspect.
The importance of providing solutions for the aforementioned aspects comes from the vision of this book that revolves around the critical role of technology in achieving sustainable development goals for current and future generations. In a world where technology is spread everywhere, this book seeks to promote sustainable studies and research as well as benefiting the indispensable nature of technology in daily life. Therefore, this book aims at stimulating and supporting sustainable development research, highlighting the latest developments in economic, social and environmental research, with a particular focus on integration with climate change, supporting initiatives that contribute to improving business sustainability and the quality of public services. Readers (e.g., students, researchers, developers, etc.) of this book will highly benefit from the solutions and approaches provided by worldwide researchers, they also will benefit the ideas and the contributions that come from the point of view of different disciplines.
