About the Video
In these five chapters, Skerlos discusses designing technologies today that serve human needs while advancing the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This introductory overview of sustainability presents the challenges posed by technology for sustainability in the domains of climate, air pollution, water pollution and materials/energy. Technology is presented as an instigator of challenges, along with a discussion of the social considerations and the pathway forward to move the economy towards a more sustainable future.
