Summary:

This book provides a detailed overview of the causes, effects, and solutions to climate change as well as net zero policies in order to harness emerging technologies in order to address global warming and adopt sustainable practices for future generations without damaging the resources of today. It also offers various practical solutions and approaches for addressing global warming and the impact of net zero emissions across a range of sectors in addressing climate change and addressing global warming. The urgency to combat climate change has led to the emergence of innovative technologies that support net-zero policies and sustainability initiatives. This book examines how digital transformation and technological advancements are reshaping industries, governance, and environmental strategies to achieve a carbon-neutral future. This book provides an in-depth exploration of key technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, blockchain, the Internet of Things (IoT), and big data analytics, demonstrating their role in optimizing energy efficiency, reducing carbon footprints, and enhancing environmental monitoring. It also discusses breakthroughs in green hydrogen, battery storage, carbon capture and storage (CCS), and bioengineering, showcasing how these solutions contribute to net-zero ambitions. A key highlight of this book is its focus on use of sustainable technological solutions for various sectors for climate change and net zero economy. From renewable energy breakthroughs to digital innovations such as IoT-based climate monitoring and blockchain-enabled emissions tracking, this section unpacks how technology can drive sustainability at scale. Case studies of successful implementations across different continents illustrate the transformative power of innovation in energy, urban planning, and industrial processes. Focusing on practical applications, the book covers various sectors, including manufacturing, transportation, agriculture, and urban planning. It illustrates how digital twin technology, smart grids, and precision farming can drive sustainability while fostering economic growth.
