FOREWORD

It is a great privilege for me to write the foreword for this edited book, “Sustainable Development and Informatics: Emerging Issues”, a collection of papers contributed by eminent professors and researchers across the globe, covering a wide range of contemporary themes on sustainable development and informatics.

The United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) define the world we aspire to, articulating 17 interlinked and interconnected goals that address global challenges such as poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace and justice. The SDGs collectively that aim to ensure that a better, fairer, more sustainable world where no-one is left behind. Informatics plays a major role in the achievement of these goals.

Sustainable Development and Informatics firstly focuses on theoretical and political perspectives and empirical evidence in vast areas of economics such as agriculture, specifically, the impact of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in agriculture and mechanisation in agriculture.

This edition also presents a thought-provoking and critical analysis of climate change. It's broad impact and associated risks are discussed across a range of G-20 contexts with special reference to India. These cover implications for tribal livelihood, the tea industry in India, the feasibility of Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) in rural India and the use of cosmetics in India.

The relationship between sustainable development and informatics is examined in a number of papers that extensively describe and contextualise the SDGs in Indian information and communication technologies and the use of information technology in agriculture, Moreover, the focus on informatics is extended across themes such as energy efficient methods to reduce CO� emissions, prospects and challenges of digitisation for emerging national BRICS economies, information technologies in economics, E-Wallet in rural India, artificial intelligence and E-Commerce, GIS and remote sensing in global methane emissions, and other topics that will promote academic critique and debate.

i

Goals related to poverty, inequality and justice are addressed in a critical analysis of child labor in rural Odisha. Other challenges to sustainable development such as vehicle emissions in Kolkata and Non-Performing Assets (NPA) in public and private sector banks in India are also examined.

This edited volume covers a wide range of studies in sustainable development and informatics. It aims to make a note-worthy contribution to the emerging body of knowledge in this important area of global challenge and to influence government and policy makers as a mechanism for changes in practice for a sustainable future. Further, this volume aims to drive future research in this field, to inform teachers and students, and to inspire entrepreneurs.

In my view the members of the editorial board, along with the authors, have taken a unique approach to the exploration of a range of perspectives to support outreach activities related to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

The United nations articulates 17 interlinked and interconnected goals addressing global challenges such as poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace and justice that collectively that aim to ensure that a better, fairer, more sustainable world where no-one is left behind. Informatics plays a major role in the achievement of these goals.

Firstly, Sustainable Development and Informatics focuses on theoretical and political perspectives and empirical evidence in vast areas of economics such as on agriculture, impact of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in agriculture, mechanisation in agriculture, climate change in the tea industry in India.

Secondly, this edition presents a thought-provoking and critical analysis of climate change in a range of contexts such as implications on tribal livelihood, the broad impact of climate change and associated risks, the Group of Twenty (G-20) with special reference to India, the feasibility of Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) in rural India and the use of cosmetics in India respectively.

Thirdly, the relationship between sustainable development and informatics is examined in a number of papers that extensively describe and contextualise sustainable development goals in Indian information and communication technology, information technology in agriculture, sustainable development in information technology etc. Moreover, the focus on informatics is extended across themes such as energy efficient methods to reduce CO� emissions, prospects and challenges of digitisation for emerging national BRICS economies, information technologies in economics, E-Wallet in rural India, artificial intelligence and E-Commerce, GIS and remote sensing in global methane emissions, and other topics that will promote academic critique and debate.

Finally, goals relating to poverty, inequality and justice are addressed in a critical analysis of child labor in rural Odisha and other challenges to sustainable development such as vehicle emissions in Kolkata and Non-Performing Assets (NPA) in public and private sector banks in India are also examined.

This edited volume covers a wide range of studies in sustainable development and informatics. It aims to make a note-worthy contribution to the emerging body of knowledge in this important area of global challenge and to influence government and policy makers as a mechanism for changes in practice for a sustainable future. Further, this volume aims to inform teachers and students, inspire entreprenuers and drive future research in this field.
