12.12 Summary
357
sustainability science can result in the development of interdependencies and offer
a transdisciplinary approach that enhances joint solutions within a societal context
that could be implemented to become more productive.
12.11.5 North America
Sustainability science will be responsive to societal needs while preserving the
planet’s life-support systems. It will also support the transition to sustainability
by developing and utilizing new knowledge, approaches, and tools, learning from
experiences, enhancing public understanding as well as inspiring new ethics via
participation. Whereas it may not find viable solutions to the persistent unsustainability issues, it will play a crucial role in their mitigation or to minimize their
worst consequences by coming up with a new way of framing and approaching
them (holistic, integrative, and open).
12.11.6 South America
Researches will increasingly embrace sustainability science to help in solving some
of the challenges afflicting the continent. Many of the innovations will revolve
around the critical concept of sustainability to ensure that they do not cause
deleterious harm to the fragile environment.
12.12 Summary
• Sustainability has been embedded in various subjects.
• Sustainability in Chemistry is achieved through the design of products and
processes, chemical leasing, degreasing, staining, water treatment, extraction,
additive production, and sustainable chemical production.
• In Physics and Engineering, the application of sustainability is evident in
energy and work, magnetism and electricity, electronics, nuclear physics, and
thermodynamics.
• In Biology, such applications are evident in diseases, agriculture, fisheries,
forestry, population dynamics, and the carbon cycle.
• In Medicine, real-world examples/applications are ThedCare, The Healthier
Hospitals Initiative, Tenet Health, Magee Women’s Hospital of UPMC, Fletcher
Allen in Vermont, Bon Secours St. Francis System in South Carolina, and the
Catholic Health Association.
• In Mathematics, sustainability is achieved by modeling scenarios, information
assessment, and performance of sensitivity analysis.
