Description
Julian Allwood and Dierk Raabe introduce a journal special issue on sustainable metals, in a 2024 paper. The issue grew from a Royal Society discussion meeting. Progress toward sustainability goals has been limited so far, the editors note. The meeting aimed to open fresh dialogue across fields and to air disruptive ideas.
Climate change is named the most urgent concern among sustainability issues. The editors stress limits on rolling out new inventions at scale and speed. Much needed change may come from using existing technology differently. Overlooked chances of that kind are plentiful, they argue. Scientists should also join the social debates that pick paths of change. Explaining what cannot be done in time is as valuable as promoting inventions, they conclude.
