The role of technology in sustainable development

The role of technology in sustainable development

Technology has moved humanity throughout history. The creation of equipment for planting, harvesting, and processing crops helped bring in the agrarian epoch 10,000 years ago.

Technology has been crucial to humanity's survival and growth on the planet, but the wrong application of our technological knowledge, exploitative behaviour of humans as the 'top boys'.

The food chain, and ecological egoism have disrupted the 'stable climate' that gave 'birth to civilization', according to naturalist David Attenborough.

Malnutrition, malaria, diarrhoea, and heat stress will cause 250,000 more deaths each year by 2050, according to the WHO.

Experts agree that humanity must rethink technology and assure its sustainable use to avert a climatic disaster. Previously, technology was regarded through restricted economic and commercial perspectives.

First, innovation and new technologies solve resource constraints. Human wants exceed resources, leading to rivalry and waste instead of cooperation and efficiency.

Sustainable technologies will provide more meaningful and inclusive jobs. Stears Business, a Nigerian business newspaper, linked crude-oil supremacy to women's economic decline in a 2019 article.

Green technologies will result in cheaper production, which will benefit forward-thinking firms and consumers globally.

In 2021, the World Economic Forum reported that renewable energy prices had fallen faster than expected and are now cheaper than fossil fuels.

Technology's ability to foresee, measure, track, and remedy detrimental human production consequences is a last justification for its role in sustainable development.

With new studies and better frameworks for analysing our influence, the UN says 'ready-made technical solutions exist for over 70% of today's emissions.'

My perspective is that the lack of political resolve and wrong incentives on a macro scale are preventing us from incorporating nature-friendly solutions into our manufacturing operations and lifestyles.
