About this Research Topic
Building on the Millennium Development Goals, the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are the cornerstone of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, billed by the UN as “An Agenda of unprecedented scope and significance.” The seventeen ambitious goals, which are intended to be reached by 2030, are conceived as integrated, indivisible, and as balancing the economic, social and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. As a member of the SDGs Publishers Compact, Frontiers is committed to accelerating progress to achieve the goals.
The seventeen SDGs are organized around five core pillars:
• People: ending poverty and hunger and ensuring that all human beings can lead fulfilling lives in a healthy and dignified environment.
• Planet: protecting the environment while ensuring sustainable use and management of natural resources.
• Prosperity: ensuring environmentally sustainable economic growth, mutual prosperity, and decent work for all.
• Peace: building societies that are peaceful, just and inclusive, and in which human rights and gender equality are respected.
• Partnership: strengthening global solidarity to address inequalities within and between countries, by focusing on the needs of the most vulnerable.
This Research Topic will address SDG 9: “Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation." The goal aims to increase resource-use efficiency and adoption of environmentally sound technologies and industrial processes.
This Research Topic will approach Goal 9 from an Aerial and Space Networks perspective. Against a backdrop of increasing emphasis on environmental issues, industry can play a significant role in reducing emissions and ensuring sustainable development. This Research Topic therefore aims to highlight the latest advancements in sustainable, energy efficient and resilient space and aerial communication technology.
