Sustainable Technologies
There is now a widespread desire to move society towards a more sustainable future. Considerable agreement exists that suggests current human activity is putting to much strain on the environment and alternatives need to be found. The use of technology to provide sustainable solutions is an important element of the range of measures that will be needed to achieve sustainable development. At the University of Greenwich we have a range of pioneering projects and research that aim to make a positive contribution to a sustainable future.
