Recent changes in ICT use globally have damaged the environment (in terms of waste and energy consumption etc.) but also have the potential to support environmental sustainability activities, [2] such as the targets set within the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) number 7 (MDG7) to "ensure environmental sustainability".
Environmental informatics is the science of information applied to environmental science.As such, it provides the information processing and communication infrastructure to the interdisciplinary field of environmental sciences [1] aiming at data, information and knowledge integration, the application of computational intelligence to environmental data as well as the identification of ...
The connection between digital technologies and environmental sustainability was recognized by the OECD in 2010 [1] and a 2024 review confirmed its continuing relevance. [ 2 ] In Europe, the idea of a twin transition is that green and digital transitions should go together.
Furthermore, research into biodegradable electronics aims to reduce future e-waste through the development of electronics that can decompose more naturally in the environment. [13] These advancements support a shift towards a circular economy, where the lifecycle of materials is extended, and environmental impacts are significantly minimized.
It can be a problematic field as there is no concurrence on the central concepts that are taught as well as teachers do not agree on what constitutes an important environmental issue. [17] Environmental Scientist-Use of field work to research contamination in nature when writing plans in creating projects for environmental research ...
Environmental studies (EVS or EVST) is a multidisciplinary academic field which systematically studies human interaction with the environment.Environmental studies connects principles from the physical sciences, commerce/economics, the humanities, [1] and social sciences [2] to address complex contemporary environmental issues.
Environmental systems analysis (ESA) is a systematic and systems based approach for describing human actions impacting on the natural environment to support decisions and actions aimed at perceived current or future environmental problems.
