Any challenges are facing our global society
that include, for example, natural, technological and human caused threats
potentially affecting property and life costing annually hundreds of billions
of dollars.
Income disparity that may lead to societal or
international conflicts and disorders; Population growths with time‐variant
differences in consumption cultures that may potentially be converging towards the high ends of
consumption behavior
for significant population segments, thereby stressing or threatening our
limited resources.
A changing climate and growing populations
with significant increases in urbanization,New and emerging technological
threats, etc.
Resilience and sustainability as system
characteristics are necessary for societal endurance and survival. Enhancing
them at the element, network, community, etc. levels could lead to not only
massive savings through efficiencies but also through risk reduction and
expeditious recovery in case of disasters.
