- Description
- A once-in-a-century pandemic has left scars on countries already roiled by the increasingly erratic weather patterns induced by the climate crisis, wreaking havoc on sectors as diverse as food security, industrial production, and defence. Countries are torn between ameliorating COVID-19's devastating impact on education, health, and livelihoods of citizens, and finding their footing in a new global order. But from this ferment are emerging technologies, ideas, and solutions that will drive the world of the future; innovation and big ideas are building a vision that is bold and transformative. As the digital technologies evolve, its comprehensive impact on the environment needs to be considered to harness its full potential. Technology is transforming our world, but at the same time it brings new opportunities as well as challenges for sustainability. The unintended negative environmental impacts emerging from technologies are likely to be outweighed by potential of technology to solving it. Advances in technology, coupled with artificial intelligence, innovation in analytics, and data generation, is likely to have positive sustainability impacts. This chapter highlights the research potential and future trends of digital technologies for sustainability purposes. We intend to evaluate the implications of digital technology such as cloud computing, blockchain, Internet of Things, big data analytics, and artificial intelligence on pollution reduction, sustainable farming practices, conservation of biodiversity, and natural disaster management. Using real-life cases, we will investigate how digital technologies can be both an obstacle and enabler to global sustainability, which will enable devising appropriate digitalization strategies geared towards the achievement of sustainability. 2024 selection and editorial matter, Vandana Sharma, Balamurugan Balusamy, Munish Sabharwal, and Mariya Ouaissa.
