Regardless, the society’s infinite spectrum of varied needs multiplies each passing day, wherein technology catalysis rapid accomplishment of the ends of societies. Technology thus, is indispensably assuming a centre role in governance and development shaping the societies towards development of innovative technologies in all fields. Renewable energy technologies, agricultural technologies, information and communication technologies (ICTs), smart city technologies, marine technologies, etc., have optimized resources and improved quality of life.

Therefore, there is an urgent necessity of the international community for a more stringent and unified action plan for reducing the humanity’s ecological footprint and development of innovations that are sustainable, simultaneously restoring the ecosystem.
