World Engineering Day Focuses on Shaping a Sustainable Future

Cars That Think

Furthermore, air and water pollution, deforestation, and soil degradation are causing significant harm. Deforestation accelerates climate change by reducing the Earths carbon absorption capacity, while soil degradation threatens global food security. Environmental degradation also poses significant health threats.
