The 2030 United Nations Agenda sets out 17 sustainable development goals to be achieved in all countries at all levels by 2030, global challenges that aim to ensure that life on Earth is peaceful, just, inclusive, prosperous and in harmony with nature and which, at this moment, are in fact crucial for human survival. Over exploitation of resources, global warming, water, land and air pollution, loss of biodiversity are in fact some of the most serious issues afflicting our planet with growing intensity and which, to be tackled, need the involvement of all countries and all stakeholders, investments in research and technological innovation as well as in the education of the new generations. Universities as places of education and research thus have the responsibility to act as a cultural reference point in the transition towards social, economic and environmental sustainability. “Sustainability Science” takes up the challenge and proposes a compendium of the energy, environmental, urbanistic and legal aspects of the same from a technical point of view. The book is divided into six chapters, each giving a general framework on a subject matter linked to sustainability and related to certain Agenda 2030 goals.
