This book introduces new and innovative science and technology research and development toward supporting sustainable economic development and protecting the environment. It explores how emergent and eco-technologies are reshaping major sectors toward sustainability goals at global level. Addressing new studies, industrial case studies, numerous disciplinary research, this book gives insights of research in topics like green material, renewable energy, smart city, AI driven environmental monitoring, the circular economy, the sustainable agriculture, the water conservation, and green movement. Advanced results in these areas are very important because of the challenges which include climate change, loss of resources, and over-exploitation of industries. This book connects technology, policy, science, and history to demonstrate how these costs, trade-offs can be transformed into opportunities for innovative solutions and growth with lesser the impacts of natural disasters while strengthening the economy success. This book describes scalable practices, disruptive new approaches, and case studies that show the reader how to adopt sustainable practices for ecological balance and with economic success. This book addresses how digitization, smart system like AI, IoT, blockchain can support sustainable governance with sustainable utilization of resources. This book also covers awareness and opportunities for educational reform needed to produce an environmentally aware and sustainable society. Some of the challenges covered by this book are the risk of dispersed innovation activities, the absence of integration between sustainable and engineering practices, and most notably, the restricted spread of eco-technology in industrial systems. The objective of the book is to bridge these gaps by providing an integrated perspective and evidence-based case study solutions. The proposed book is useful to academicians, engineers, environmental scientists, policy makers, graduate and postgraduate students, and all those readers who want sustainable solutions for innovation and green technology prospective.
