When we contemplate the magnitude and the consequences of the need for environmental sustainability, we cannot but conclude that urgent and fundamental actions are required. As technologists, it is somewhat automatic for us to think that technology can come to the rescue. Regrettably, that is not the case (and unmanaged use of technology can work against environmental sustainability) but we can still see that technology does have many positive contributions to offer. However, these contributions can only be realized if significant actions are already being executed at the highest level. Specifically, Environmental sustainability is a global, all-encompassing responsibility, involving governments, businesses, and all of us as individuals. It demands an urgent, wholesale move to renewable energy sources; the adoption of sustainable business practices & environmentally responsible social lifestyles. And that means it is only achievable through globally concerted governmental action, collaboration, and regulation, driven with the highest urgency.
