Advances in Computational Intelligence Techniques for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

Computational Intelligence Techniques (CITs), which encompasses various artificial intelligence and machine learning methods are changing landscape of human society in a variety of ways. We have witnessed its significance during COVID-19 outbreak when computational intelligence-based techniques played crucial role not only in vaccine development but also in communication, supply chain management and maintaining social distancing. Therefore, CITs can also play crucial role in addressing and achieving the seventeen (17) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set forth by the United Nations. The SDGs are roadmap for the future as they offer a universal blueprint for a more sustainable, equitable, and prosperous world. For example, the continued rise in atmospheric CO2 concentrations, have already surpassed 417 ppm in 2022, emphasizes the urgency of SDG 13 (Climate Action) to limit global warming and avert catastrophic climate consequences if swift actions will not be taken. SDGs address interconnected various global challenges, promote environmental sustainability, and foster international cooperation, ensuring a better quality of life, economic growth, and social harmony for present and future generations. These goals are a universal call to action to this global agenda in several ways i.e., data analysis and predictions, environment monitoring, climate action, disaster response and mitigation, healthcare and education, poverty alleviation, renewable energy, urban planning, financial inclusion and global cooperation.
