Technology in the field of climate change is continually evolving. Technological advancement and modernization have led to the enhancement of ecosystem assessment and intelligent solutions to tackle climate change, which in turn has helped improve ecosystem sustainability, its productivity, and food security. With the world population set to rise by 2 billion people by 2050, it is crucial that we develop innovative methods for sustainable ecosystems to meet the increasing needs in terms of ecosystem services and resources. Degradation of ecosystems such as deforestation, fires, and overgrazing have been identified as a major contributor of greenhouse gases, specifically carbon dioxide.
Currently, many countries are using new technologies such as artificial intelligence and geospatial tools to try to reduce their carbon footprints. This is one step towards improving ecosystem sustainability and productivity with a reduction of greenhouse gases being emitted into the atmosphere. This book will bring together a set of works that provide new insights, challenges, and opportunities on climate change impacts, risks, vulnerability, and adaptation in a changing world. This initiative is the first step in developing plans to tackle climate change on a global scale.
