ABSTRACT
Throughout the preceding chapters, a wide range of aspects related to technology and sustainability have been explored. Issues as varied as the use of technology in education, the engineering of our climate systems, and the use of technology for influencing human behavior have been explored. The perspectives and approaches have been as varied as the issues, and it is time to consider what the various findings indicate through a synthesis of the key results presented in the book. I begin by presenting the findings related to the positive and negative potential of technology for sustainable development. In the concluding section I proceed to consider the overall implications of the contributions presented in the book, in terms of both the promise and pitfalls of techno-solutionism for sustainable development, but also with the goal of highlighting the problematic assumptions in and limitations associated with the concept of sustainable development and the Sustainable Development Goals.
