Sustainable Engineering and Science

Sustainability is a multifaceted concept that encompasses a strategy, an action, and a principle aimed at fostering the growth of society in an economically and environmentally friendly manner. Global warming, inefficient energy consumption, and the exponential growth of the human population pose significant threats to the Earth's ecosystems, necessitating international cooperation and knowledge sharing across different disciplines and regions. Sustainable engineering and science integrate industrial, social, and environmental processes in a global context, requiring a triangular approach that includes social value, environmental impacts, and economic value. This series explores the cutting-edge research, innovations, and practices that contribute to building a resilient yet environmentally conscious society. It provides a comprehensive and accessible resource on a wide range of topics related to sustainability from an engineering and scientific perspective and fosters the development of critical thinking skills that enable readers to assess the impact of products and systems on the social, economic, and environmental domains, and build a sustainable future.
