Beginning with the principles connecting Industry 4.0 and the SDGs, the book explores smart manufacturing, sustainable product development, and technology-driven resource optimization. Chapters demonstrate how advanced technologies support disaster management, green marketing, circular economy initiatives, decarbonization, sustainable construction, and environmentally responsible industrial practices.
The volume also examines regional and global case studies illustrating how technological innovation can address local socioeconomic challenges, strengthen governance, improve accessibility, promote gender equality, and support resilient communities. Throughout, contributors emphasize that technological progress must be guided by responsible governance, ethical decision-making, and social inclusion to achieve lasting sustainability.
