Abstract
Technological advances alone will be insufficient to mitigate the global environmental footprint by 2050. This study introduces an integrative model that considers demographic trends, technological developments and behavioural changes and examines their potential contributions to future carbon, land and water footprints using Israel as a case study. The results are relevant for both Israel and the rest of the world.
期刊介绍:
Nature Sustainability aims to facilitate cross-disciplinary dialogues and bring together research fields that contribute to understanding how we organize our lives in a finite world and the impacts of our actions.
Nature Sustainability will not only publish fundamental research but also significant investigations into policies and solutions for ensuring human well-being now and in the future.Its ultimate goal is to address the greatest challenges of our time.
