New Technologies for Energy Transition Based on Sustainable Development Goals: Factors Contributing to Global Warming

This book describes numerous issues and brings an improved understanding of a key agenda item for the sustainable development goals (SDGs). The SDGs represent an urgent call for action by all countries, developed and developing, working jointly within the global community. A few of the industries it supports include food processing, energy, biomedical science, space research, drug delivery, and biosensors. This book highlights multidisciplinary solutions for protecting the environment while ensuring the future of our planet.

The book mainly targets undergraduates, postgraduates, and doctoral students who are working in materials science and researchers across the world working in interdisciplinary research for climate change for sustainable growth.
