The world around us is changing. While technical innovation is accelerating at unprecedented rates and delivering solutions that were unthinkable only a few decades ago, a new factor, impacting all sectors and industries alike, is becoming increasingly important: sustainability.
While sustainability is frequently referred to as a new science, one among many, a deeper examination indicates that it is not a distinct area. Instead, it's altering the way we think about all past studies and completely reorients the focus towards new facets. Material consumption, transportation routes, product-life cycles, recycling, and many more aspects demand increased consideration, resulting in the complete re-evaluation of processes. As a result, three term papers are presented that address the various domains of policymaking, the impacts of global migration and lastly the technological capabilities of artificial intelligence, in the framework of a scientific discourse. Topics take exemplary industrial fields to highlight the urgent call to action by NGOs, societies, and researchers alike. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as Global Goals, are a set of 17 interconnected global goals aimed at achieving a better and more sustainable future for everybody. The United Nations General Assembly established the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015, with the goal of achieving them by 2030. These goals are the cornerstones for the following essays.
The results of this research were presented in a shared colloquium in summer 2021. We would like to thank all institutional and private supporters who have actively helped us with this project and further research projects.
