Ingeniería para el Desarrollo Sostenible: Innovación, Tecnología y Soluciones para los Desafíos del Siglo XXI.
Keywords:
ingeniería sostenible, innovación tecnológica, transición ecológica, economía circular, gobernanza ambientalSynopsis
La ingeniería desempeña un papel decisivo en la construcción de modelos de desarrollo capaces de responder a la crisis climática, la degradación ambiental y las desigualdades territoriales. Esta obra examina la relación entre ingeniería y sostenibilidad desde una mirada crítica, sistémica y orientada a soluciones, con especial atención a la realidad peruana y a los desafíos compartidos por América Latina. El recorrido inicia con el análisis de la crisis socioambiental y la transformación de las responsabilidades profesionales ante los límites ecológicos. Luego se estudian tecnologías e innovaciones aplicadas a la transición energética, la gestión del agua, la agricultura, la industria, los materiales y la digitalización. También se abordan la infraestructura resiliente, la movilidad, las edificaciones sostenibles, las soluciones basadas en la naturaleza y la economía circular, considerando las particularidades de cada territorio. Se examinan la gobernanza, el financiamiento, la ética, la participación social y la formación de los futuros profesionales. El libro sostiene que ninguna tecnología garantiza por sí sola la sostenibilidad: su aporte depende del contexto, el ciclo de vida, la capacidad institucional, la justicia social y la participación de las comunidades.
