Proceedings of International Conference on Science for Sustainable Development

Abstract

Sustainability, eco-friendly, reusability, and minimum wastage are the fundamentals of the circular economy. Climate change, population explosion, agricultural degradation, environmental pollution, and technology encroaching on privacy are the common problems that are affecting the peace and livelihood of people around the world. It is important to point out that the use of toxic chemicals, petroleum-based plastic products, etc., in one way or another makes the earth uninhabitable. Therefore, there is a quest for green or sustainable materials from renewable sources to replace toxic materials. The UN’s goals of 2030 are for inclusive sustainable development and 2022 is a year of science for sustainable development as declared by UNESCO. Also, the Paris agreement for sustainable development emphasizes the need for zero carbon emission. To make this planet better, the need of the hour is to employ interdisciplinary research, and technological innovations, and infuse scientific temperament among every stakeholder.

Recently, there is an upsurge in the use of sustainable materials in all fields such as medicine, automotive, construction and building, water treatment, fuel sector, and other industrial applications to reduce waste, pollution issues, and toxicity. However, the use of materials from renewable resources is still in small quantities compared to traditional materials. Therefore, a conference on "Science for Sustainable Development (SSD 2022) is essential for awareness of sustainable development. It is very important to study, learn, and discuss with researchers across the globe to formulate guidelines for a sustainable ecosystem. This conference platform will provide knowledge exchange and collaborations with scientists and researchers across the globe.

The conference conveners cordially invite scientists, academicians, industry experts, and students from across the globe to be part of the International Conference on Science for Sustainable Development to be conducted by the Department of Science and Centre of Excellence-Water Research, Alliance University, Bengaluru, India on December 9-10, 2022.
