At present, both Industry 4.0 and industrial engineering management
developments are reshaping the industrial sector worldwide. Industry
4.0 and sustainability are considered as the crucial emerging trends
in industrial production systems. The resulting transformations are
changing production modes from traditional to digital, intelligent,
and decentralized. It is expected that Industry 4.0 will help drive
sustainability in industries thanks to the implementation of advanced
technology and a move towards social sustainability. This book
reflects on the consequences of the transition to Industry 4.0 for
climate change. The book presents a systemic overview of the current
negative impacts of digitization on the environment and showcases a
new outline of the energy domain and expected changes in environmental
pollution levels under Industry 4.0. It also analyzes the ecological
consequences of the growth and development of Industry 4.0 and
considers Industry 4.0 as an alternative to fighting climate change,
in the sense of shifting the global community’s attention from
environmental protection to consolidation of the digital economy. This
book will be of interest to academicians and practitioners in the
fields of climate change and development of Industry 4.0, and it will
contribute to national economic policies for fighting climate change
and corporate strategies of sustainable development under Industry
4.0.
