The conference proceedings titled " The International Conference on Environmental Sustainability and Climate Change ICESCC 2023" address the complex issues surrounding environmental sustainability and climate change. This book encompasses a wide range of subjects, such as climate science, strategies to reduce the impact of climate change, adapting to its effects, governing policies, sustainable development, preserving biodiversity, effective communication about climate issues, fairness considerations, innovative technologies, collaboration across different sectors, exemplary approaches, and prospects. The book aims to facilitate the exchange of advanced research, foster collaboration, and stimulate discussions that motivate action. The book will primarily address sustainable energy solutions, which include energy sources, energy efficiency, and clean technologies. Other key topics of discussion will be climate policy, climate change initiatives, air pollution control, solid waste management, water resource management, catalysis applications in pollution control, and geoenvironmental technologies. The book aims to improve worldwide initiatives in addressing climate change and improving environmental sustainability by facilitating debates, exchanging ideas, and proposing creative solutions. |
