Overview
Innovative technologies, from renewable energy solutions to artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain, can be harnessed to address global sustainability challenges. Technology can play a role in achieving the United Nations' sustainable development goals (SDGs). These technological advancements also have geopolitical ramifications, including shifts in power dynamics, resource distribution, and international collaborations and conflicts. There are many ethical considerations that must be addressed in relation to the impact of geopolitical tensions on global sustainability efforts and the implementation of technology in diverse socio-political contexts. Bridging Technology and Development for Sustainable Innovation and Geopolitical Dynamics studies the evolving relationship between sustainable development, new technologies, and shifting geopolitics of the 21st century. It is structured to provide a multifaceted analysis, combining theoretical frameworks with empirical case studies. Covering topics such as equitable development, international trade wars, and technological risks, this book is an excellent resource for government officials, policymakers, industry professionals, activists, professionals, researchers, academicians, and more.
