The multidimensionality of the concepts of sustainable development is shown in this monograph through the prism of literature reviews and empirical studies, as well as experiences of 30 authors representing 13 universities and science institutes. The monograph confirms the long-standing academic cooperation between the research community of Wroclaw University of Economics and Business and other academic centres in Poland with scholars from Czechia and Slovakia. It is also worth noting that the list of the contributors has been further extended to authors from Hungary and Pakistan who are part of international research teams working in Poland and Czechia. The main structure of the monograph is composed of four parts. Part 1 concentrates on tasks which institutions of higher education have to realise in the context of expanding the scope of implementing the principles of sustainable development. The considerations in Part 2 are directed at the regional dimension of sustainable development, with particular attention to its economic aspects demonstrated in the context of regions. The authors of the chapters in Part 3 indicate the importance of technological advancements and the possibility of their use to support sustainable development, whilst Part 4 presents the issues linked with sustainable development from the perspective of consumer behaviour and business activity of enterprises.

While the climate crisis poses a threat to planetary health, digital transformation continues to reshape our societies. The challenge for technology leaders is no longer understanding why sustainability matters but knowing how to take decisive, responsible action. This book gives you the clarity, confidence, and tools to drive meaningful change.Updated with the latest trends, case studies, and insights, including responsible and sustainable AI lifecycle governance, it walks you through every stage of developing and implementing a sustainable IT strategy.The book is structured in three parts. Part 1 explores the “why,” grounding you in the reality of the urgent climate crisis we face today, how we arrived here, the planetary boundaries we must restore, and the broader impact of IT on society. Part 2 covers the “what,” outlining the practical actions you can take to drive meaningful returns on sustainable investments and build a greener future. Part 3 focuses on the “how,” establishing baselines, setting direction, and applying real-world case studies to help you translate intent to impactful global outcomes.Whether you’re building a sustainability strategy from the ground up or enhancing existing initiatives, this book prepares you to lead the way with confidence and deliver outcomes that matter.
