Artificial Intelligence for Sustainable
Infrastructure and Environmental Systems

Artificial Intelligence for Sustainable Infrastructure and Environmental Systems

Towards 2030

This book provides a concise and interdisciplinary introduction to sustainable development, examining its historical evolution, legal foundations, and contemporary governance challenges. It traces the emergence of sustainability from early ecological warnings to its institutionalization through international frameworks, demonstrating how sustainable development has become a central organizing principle of global policy.Organized around seven thematic chapters, the book covers the conceptual and legal foundations of sustainability, its core governance principles, socio-technical transition pathways, property and commons theory, global sustainability finance, and the implications of digitalization and artificial intelligence for development. Each chapter integrates legal analysis, governance theory, and, in some cases, real-world case studies to show how sustainability principles move from rhetoric to enforceable norms. Key features include accessible chapter abstracts, a comprehensive list of abbreviations, and a structured list of figures supporting visual learning. The book approaches sustainable development not as a technical toolkit but as a political and institutional challenge requiring systemic reform.The volume is intended for undergraduate and postgraduate students in environmental studies, law, governance, economics, and public policy, as well as researchers, practitioners, and policymakers engaged with sustainability transitions, international environmental law, and development governance.

AI Regulation in Industry 5.0

With one famous equation, E=mc2, Einstein proved all matter can be described as energy. It is everywhere and everything. ‘There is no author whose books I look forward to more than Vaclav Smil.’ Bill Gates Turn on a light. Start the car. Boil water. Eat. Move. Breathe. Everything is energy. But what exactly is it? And how can we best harness it without destroying the planet in the process? Renowned scientist Vaclav Smil explores energy in all its facets – from the inner workings of the human body to the rise of modern industry and the race for more efficient and eco-friendly fuels. From the laws of thermodynamics to the latest developments in wind, solar and geothermal power, Energy: A Short History sheds light on the invisible network of energy that shapes all our lives, and how our daily decisions affect energy consumption.

Social Sustainability in the Fashion and Textiles Industry

The next choice we make is the last chance we have. Ten thousand years ago, wild cats wandered into a human grain store. Over generations, gorged with a plentiful supply of prey, they traded their raw instincts for a life of dependency as our household pets. Today, domestic cats are more comfortable than ever but they can no longer hunt effectively. Their brains are 16% smaller than their distant ancestors. They are domesticated. AI is turning the modern world into a cognitive grain store. And we are the cats. In this groundbreaking and vital book, leading AI researcher and campaigner James F. Ryan charts our relationship with transformative technologies - from writing to AI - and explains why this time it's different. Large language models like ChatGPT are not just tools, but are remaking our brains and eroding our ability to think. From the workplace and our relationships to our schools and universities, we face an urgent battle to safeguard human thought. The Domestication sets out the evidence, the imposing challenge we face, and how we respond.

Design for Social Responsibility

This book explores how design decisions, from societal and policy-level interventions to business models and product-level choices, can reduce material intensity and support a transition to a regenerative future. The challenge of the twenty-first century is not simply how to consume more sustainably, but how to meet human needs while reducing pressure on global ecosystems. Designing Circularity addresses this challenge by reframing circularity as a systems problem: how to achieve the same, or better, outcomes for society with less material and energy throughput.At the centre of the book is a triple-layered systemic design framework for coordinating circular initiatives across socio-technical and policy systems, organisational business and service models, and products and assets. Drawing on research, practitioner insights, and real-world examples, the book shows how governments, businesses, not-for-profit organisations, and designers can work across these layers to reshape the conditions that influence production, consumption, and resource use.Through the lens of material intensity, Designing Circularity challenges readers to consider not only how products are made, but how systems are organised to meet human needs. It examines how effectively economies and sectors meet those needs in relation to the materials and energy they use, and how shared forms of provision can reduce dependence on materially intensive patterns of individual consumption. Written for researchers, practitioners, designers, industry leaders, and policymakers, the book offers a practical pathway for applying systems stewardship to create collective abundance within ecological limits.The Introduction and Chapters 1 and 3 of this book are freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND) 4.0 International license.
