Sustainability necessitates a global perspective, requiring the adaptation of contemporary business and societal models to navigate the dynamic landscape of the future. Policymakers and society must ensure that resources, particularly technology, are utilized responsibly and efficiently to enhance the well-being of both present and future generations while cultivating a harmonious relationship with the environment.
