Natural Resources Conservation and Advances for Sustainability
addresses the latest challenges associated with the management and
conservation of natural resources. It presents interdisciplinary
approaches to promote advances in solving these challenges. By
examining what has already been done and analyzing it in the
context of what still needs to be done, particularly in the context
of latest technologies and sustainability, the book helps to
identify ideal methods for natural resource management and
conservation. Each chapter begins with a graphical abstract and
presents complicated or detailed content in the form of figures or
tables. In addition, the book compares the latest techniques with
conventional techniques and troubleshoots conventional methods with
modifications, making it a practical resource for researchers in
environmental science and natural resource management.
The concept of circular economy is based on strategies, practices,
policies, and technologies to achieve principles related to
reusing, recycling, redesigning, repurposing, remanufacturing,
refurbishing, and recovering water, waste materials, and nutrients
to preserve natural resources. It provides the necessary conditions
to encourage economic and social actors to adopt strategies toward
sustainability. However, the increasing complexity of
sustainability aspects means that traditional engineering and
management/economics alone cannot face the new challenges and reach
the appropriate solutions. Thus, this book highlights the role of
engineering and management in building a sustainable society by
developing a circular economy that establishes and protects strong
social and cultural structures based on cross-disciplinary
knowledge and diverse skills. It includes theoretical
justification, research studies, and case studies to provide
researchers, practitioners, professionals, and policymakers the
appropriate context to work together in promoting sustainability
and circular economy thinking. Volume 1, Circular Economy and
Sustainability: Management and Policy, discusses the content of
circular economy principles and how they can be realized in the
fields of economy, management, and policy. It gives an outline of
the current status and perception of circular economy at the
micro-, meso-, and macro-levels to provide a better understanding
of its role in achieving sustainability. Volume 2, Circular Economy
and Sustainability: Environmental Engineering, presents various
technological and developmental tools that emphasize the
implementation of these principles in practice (micro-level). It
demonstrates the necessity to establish a fundamental connection
between sustainable engineering and circular economy.

Environmental Sustainability and Economy contains the latest
practical and theoretical concepts of sustainability science and
economic growth. It includes the latest research on sustainable
development, the impact of pollution due to economic activities,
energy policies and consumption influencing growth and environment,
waste management and recycling, circular economy, and climate
change impacts on both the environment and the economy. The 21st
century has seen the rise of complex and multi-dimensional pathways
between different aspects of sustainability. Due to globalization,
these relationships now work at varying spatiotemporal scales
resulting in global and regional dynamics. This book explores the
complex relationship between sustainable development and economic
growth, linking the environmental and social aspects with the
economic pillar of sustainable development. Utilizing global case
studies and interdisciplinary perspectives, Environmental
Sustainability and Economy provides a comprehensive account of
sustainable development and the economics of environmental
protection studies with a focus on the environmental, geographical,
economic, anthropogenic and social-ecological environment.
