Environmental Engineering and Management for Interdisciplinary Research-based Solutions and Education for Sustainable Transformations

Abstract

Environmental sustainability is the foundation for maintaining global systems and supporting economic development within society. However, issues such as the climate crisis, overexploitation of natural resources, biodiversity loss, and significant alterations in ecosystems, complicate our ability to thrive in an ever-changing environment. These issues have far-reaching implications, from personal well-being to the vulnerability of entire populations to food and water scarcity, energy challenges, hazardous substances, and social inequalities. These challenges transcend the boundaries of specific scientific disciplines.
