About the product
The comprehensive presentation in this publication breaks new ground in the understanding of sustainability as a multi- and interdisciplinary area. It provides a significant contribution to the literature on sustainability by identifying, on a sectoral basis, the critical issues facing the world as a whole, and the technical feasibility of addressing them. A new paradigm of eco-restructuring for sustainable development is introduced, involving shifts in technology, economic activities and lifestyles needed to harmonize human activities with natural systems. The publication also analyses a number of sectors and technological fields that are involved in the search for sustainable patterns of industrialization.
