Earth is home to countless species, including humans, yet many of its resources remain largely unexplored. Over time, the increasing exploitation of natural resources has reached a critical point, where human activities have begun to significantly threaten the balance of ecosystems and environmental sustainability.
In recent decades, technological advancements have contributed both positively and negatively to this issue. While certain innovations have led to environmental degradation, technology also presents powerful tools for restoring ecosystems and supporting sustainable development.
In particular, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Digital Innovation have emerged as transformative forces capable of driving change across various sectors, including environmental science, agriculture, energy, waste management, and climate action. These technologies hold the potential to optimize resource use, enhance decision-making, and accelerate the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Recognizing the urgent need for innovative and sustainable solutions, the Institute for Research and Community Service (LPPM) is organizing the Second International Conference on Environment and Sustainable Development (ICESD) under the theme:
“Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation for Sustainable Development”
This conference aims to bring together researchers, academics, practitioners, and policymakers to discuss the latest advancements in green technologies, with a special focus on AI and digital innovations that contribute to environmental sustainability. The selected sub-themes span across eight critical topics, offering a platform to exchange ideas, present research findings, and foster collaboration in pursuit of a greener future.
