Continuation along current development pathways is not sustainable.
Available technology and production practices and the consumption
patterns of modern societies are leading to global warming and
ecological destruction. Business as usual is not an option. There
is an urgent need to find a new development paradigm that ensures
environmental sustainability while managing to provide, now and in
the future, a decent livelihood for all of humankind. In Technology
and Innovation for Sustainable Development, experts in the area
provide a variety of insights about the technical transformation
needed for sustainable development. It spells out the behavioural
and policy changes that would need to accompany the next
technological transformation, taking into account the complexity of
inducing technological change in the energy and agricultural
sectors. The assessment suggests that this will require major, but
doable improvements in national innovation systems and major, but
affordable shifts in investment patterns and related macroeconomic
adjustments.
