| Abstract | The convergence of sustainability and technology presents a dynamic environment with both promising prospects and formidable challenges. Technology has emerged as a critical instrument for addressing global sustainability crises, such as climate change, resource depletion, and environmental degradation. Innovations, such as renewable energy, smart cities, and circular economy models, have the potential to transform the way we live, work, and consume resources, offering benefits such as reduced carbon emissions, increased resource efficiency, and improved quality of life. However, the implementation of technology-driven sustainability programs often faces difficulties, including the digital divide, privacy issues, and ethical concerns. These challenges emphasize the need for responsible and fair use of technology. Striking a balance between innovation and environmental care remains a significant challenge. This chapter explores the intricate relationship between technology and sustainability, highlighting the need for responsible technological breakthroughs that enhance social and ecological well-being while navigating complex ethical, economic, and regulatory issues. Technology serves as both a catalyst and crucible in a world striving for a sustainable future, influencing the direction of social and environmental progress. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024. |
