Welcome to the Anthropocene, the era in which humans have put a tangible mark on
our planet. But also the era in which humans and technology have the potential to
shape the necessary transitions towards a sustainable world. Technology and nature
are often considered as two opposing phenomena. However, they are increasingly
intertwined, for better or worse. In this book, we explore how technology and nature
relate to one another in the moral design of new, green technology.
This book is relevant for IT and engineering professionals, business leaders and policy
makers with (green) innovation in their portfolios and students of (applied) science
who are interested in either sustainable and green design of technology or in the application
of technology – with an emphasis on AI and IT – to create a greener, more
sustainable world. The chapters have been written by experts and leading researchers
in an attractive, accessible, and practical writing style. Each chapter offers colourful
examples and challenges the reader to critically think through moral decision-making
and the design of innovations considering our planet’s perspective. This is a conceptual
change in values. Nature should not be considered as a resource: it is the fabric of
life that makes our own existence possible.
