Responsible production will aim to lower emissions and pollution, while studying the impact on human health and the environment. Soil conservation, regenerative agriculture, and reducing ecosystem impacts will be key in preserving life on land. Information systems, big data, AI, and machine learning will drive smart tools, resource management, and global problem-solving. Clean energy efforts will develop new materials for energy storage, efficient solar panels, and corrosion-resistant wind turbine materials.
