Call for Papers - Dossier "Technologies, Innovation and Sustainability"
The evolution of science and technology and its impacts on natural resources have been described from different perspectives. For many researchers, this phenomenon was conceptualized as Anthropocene, which refers to the impact of human activities on the environment, especially in the use and transformation of landscapes and natural resources. The impacts of humanity on the functioning of the planetary environment are visible, right from the beginning of the industrial and technological revolution. This phenomenon allowed science and technology to be seen as inseparable processes. The perplexity between the expansion of knowledge and socioenvironmental engagement remains one of the most dramatic contemporary dilemmas. The developmental problems and its relation to technology, innovation, and environmental sustainability compose parts of these perplexities. In this manner, this dossier targets works that promote dialogue between the development, technological innovation with sustainability in its different dimensions (social, economic, ecological, spatial and cultural). The problems of technological evolution with increasing environmental issues is a wake-up call for researches that investigate the use and conservation of natural resources.
