Tech Empowers Better World

In 2015, the United Nations Sustainable Development Agency (UNSDA) proposed 17 sustainable development goals, aiming to achieve these 17 sustainable development goals by 2030. These development goals cover most of the global problems or challenges, from which we can notice that sustainable development issues have become a global concern. In China, with the rapid development of economy and society, we are facing many challenges in the process of development, such as environmental pollution, resource depletion and so on. On the other hand, the development of science and technology has brought a better solution to those challenges. Besides, disruptive innovation breaks the limitations of traditional industry which makes sustainable development possible. After all, we have reason to believe that technological innovation will lead us to a sustainable society. To be specific, from waste recycling to information technology-assisted precision agricultural planting, the innovation of science and technology bursts out new vitality in the cross-integration, and brings infinite imagination space for sustainable development. So, what good science and technology can be applied to the field of sustainable development in the future? Can technology make our sustainable lifestyle accessible? What more efforts do we need to make with our existing resources?
