Sustainable development is the most important challenge facing
humanity in the 21st century. The global economic growth in the
recent past has indeed exhibited marked progress in many countries.
Nevertheless, the issues of income disparity, poverty, gender gaps,
and malnutrition are not uncommon in the global landscape, in spite
of the upward growth of the economy and technological advances.
This grim picture is further exacerbated by our growing human
population, unmindful resource use, ever-increasing consumption
trends, and changing climate. In order to protect humanity and
preserve the planet, the United Nations issued the "2030 agenda for
sustainable development," which includes but is not limited to
sustainable production and consumption practices, e.g. in a
sustainable bioeconomy. The hallmark of the sustainable bioeconomy
is a paradigm shift from a fossil-fuel-based economy to a
biological-based one, which is driven by the virtues of
sustainability, efficient utilization of resources, and "circular
economy." As the sustainable bioeconomy is based on the efficient
utilization of biological resources and societal transformations,
it holds the immense potential to achieve the UN's Sustainable
Development Goals. This book shares valuable insights into the
linkages between the sustainable bioeconomy and Sustainable
Development Goals, making it an essential read for policymakers,
researchers and students of environmental studies.
