As the globe grapples with the accelerating shifts in climate patterns, the clarion call to address its repercussions resonates with newfound urgency. Now, at this pivotal moment in our shared history, humanity confronts unparalleled challenges. There has never been an urgent need for the world to come together on a sustainable, climate-neutral path. "Rolling Out a Climate-Neutral Future: Materials and Sustainable Innovations" which shed light on the topic and provided directions for building a greener tomorrow. Smart materials and ground-breaking breakthroughs are important in the journey towards this climate-neutral future. This book explores the many ways in which modern sustainable technology and materials science can be powerful tools to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), build a more resilient and equitable world, and mitigate the effects of climate change.

During the 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28), the commitments of International Association of Advanced Materials (IAAM) to climate resilience was highlighted. The organization emphasized the importance of bolstering materials ecosystem to better cope with climate change, as this is essential for the materials community's goal of reducing greenhouse gases and pursuing United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). With its inclusiveness, COP28 set ambitious goals to accelerate the shift to cleaner energy, revamp climate financing to achieve the past commitments, create a new economic plan, and prioritize environmental and human well-being in climate efforts. These goals underline the essential need for robust climate management and the conservation of biodiversity to ensure the welfare of humanity. The conference tackled pressing issues related to climate change, including natural disasters, the necessity for inclusivity, policy, biodiversity, and the significant role of technological innovation. The discussions seek to shed light on progressive strategies and suggestions that resonate with COP28's commitments and the SDGs. The key areas include comprehensive climate management, nature-based and socio-economic strategies, circular economies, the restoration of biodiversity, global collaboration, the advent of climate-neutral technologies, risk analysis, artificial intelligence, data analytics, and novel policy frameworks. IAAM's proactive stance at COP28 towards enhancing climate resilience is rooted in its organizational ethos, the rollout of diverse eco-friendly initiatives, and steady contributions to agenda of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). This steadfast commitment not only cements IAAM's influence in the environmental domain but also paves the way for collective, forward-thinking solutions to address climate change and defend its motive of the current decade for a sustainable and green world.

The International Association for Advanced Materials is optimistic that the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) can be achieved through scientific consideration of circular materials and embracing new green technological advances, as well as by keeping global commitments to reduce climate change, adapt to it, and come up with new ways to deal with it. The present green transition projects rely heavily on the accessibility of biodiversity, climate, and net-zero technologies leading to a sustainable future. A sustainable and green world refers to a global society that operates in harmony with nature, respects ecological limits, and ensures social and economic well-being for present and future generations. It is characterized by responsible resource management, reduced environmental impact, social equity, and the protection of ecosystems. In the context of effective climate resource management, it is necessary to recognize the value of natural materials and incorporate them into ongoing practices and processes. Understanding materials selection, along with leveraging nature-based solutions and renewable technologies, plays a significant role in driving the world's circular economy while ensuring sustainability. Addressing pollution, reducing reliance on non-renewable energy sources, adopting low-carbon materials, and eliminating plastics and harmful chemicals are essential steps toward creating a circular market that connects materials in a circular manner. This approach aligns with SDGs along with the Conference of the Parties (COP), and European Green Deal (EGD), which also emphasizes sustainability, net-zero, and circular processes. In this quest, advancements in climate-efficient materials science and technology, coupled with waste resource innovations, have potential usefulness towards all-in-one green solutions. Thus, it is crucial for the research community to focus on green R&D practices, and topical consortiums as much as possible. By prioritizing climate-efficient materials, promoting sustainable practices, and fostering innovation, the advanced materials world community can work towards materials development goals for a sustainable and green world.

Climate resilience refers to the ability of individuals, communities, ecosystems, and systems to anticipate, adapt to, and recover from the impacts of climate change. Effective water resource management must recognize the value of water and incorporate it into decision-making to align with the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Due to rapid population growth, urbanization, and increasing water needs in livelihoods, agriculture, industry, and energy production, water demand has significantly increased. Thus, water conservation and clean water management are essential to protect human well-being. It was crucial that the IAAM's W119 Side Event at the United Nations 2023 Water Conference, New York focused on climate resilience to ensure the sustainable management of water uses and resources. The topics that were extensively discussed during the two-day side event included the effects of climate change on floods and droughts, integrated water management, nature-based solutions, the water-biodiversity nexus, technology and innovation, socioeconomics and natural disasters, international cooperation, gender and social inclusion, policy and governance, flood monitoring, and drought evaluation, among others.

In the new decade, International Association of Advanced Materials (IAAM) is committed with its 2030 agenda on “Advancement of Materials to Sustainable and Green World” working in line with the United Nations’ (UN) Sustainable Development Goals. The IAAM also synchronizes its agenda with the action plans of European Green Deal which is aimed to making the Europe as climate neutral by 2050 for which they have taken a set of policy initiatives. The present scenario of the world climate shows that the climate change and the environmental degradation are a major cause of worry for the whole world and an immediate treatment into the situation is the utmost need of the hour.
