This book provides an overview of promoting the conservation and sustainable use of natural resources and reducing waste and pollution, while also addressing the challenges posed by climate change. Climate change and natural resources are closely linked, as changes in the climate can have significant impacts on the availability and quality of natural resources such as water, air, land, forests, and oceans.Environmental management and sustainable development are crucial to address the challenges posed by climate change and to ensure the long-term viability of natural resources. Also, the planning, implementation, and monitoring of actions that aim to protect and enhance the environment while promoting sustainable development are discussed. In the context of climate change and natural resources, sustainable development involves finding ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to the impacts of climate change, while also promoting resource conservation and sustainable use.  As a result, this book is expected to contribute to the existing literature and provide an in-depth study that gives a fresh approach to the academic and multiple stakeholders, including governments, businesses, civil society, and individuals.

Über Autor(innen)

In 1982, Prof. Dr. Hüseyin Gökçekus received his degree in Geological Engineering Department at Ankara University. Then, in 1984 he commenced his M.Sc. degree at Middle East Technical University.  From 1983 to 1990, he was a research assistant in the Geological Engineering Department at METU. In 1990, he received his Ph.D. degree in Geological Engineering Department. In 1992 and 1994, he was promoted to the rank of assistant professor and associate professor, respectively, and to the rank of professor in 2001. His research interests include renewable energy, environment, groundwater, rainfall-runoff modeling, and artificial intelligence applications to hydro-environmental engineering, hydro informatics, and computational hydraulics.  Assoc. Prof. Dr. Youssef Kassem received his B.Sc. and M.S. degrees in Mechanical Engineering from Near East University, Cyprus in 2009 and 20011, respectively. He then continued his graduate study in Mechanical Engineering in the field of thermo-fluid at Near East University, Cyprus, and graduated in 2017. Dr. Kassem was with the Faculty of Engineering, Near East University, assistant professor from 2018-2019; and associate professor from 2020-present. His research interests include renewable energy, climate energy, sustainable development, and artificial intelligence applications for mechanical and environmental engineering.
