| Summary: | This IET Engineering Biology special issue in Environment
and Sustainability is launched in anticipation of the call for
actions to mitigate climate change following the conclusion of
the 26th Conference of Parties (COP26) at Glasgow. The
mitigation requires multi‐pronged approaches and innovations,
that include reduction of coal usage, cutting back methane
emission, sequestration of CO2, financing, to name a few. But,
more can and need to be done. There is a pressing need to
move to environmentally friendly, sustainable low‐carbon so-
lutions. Synthetic biology has been mentioned to be one of the
breakthroughs that will enable inventions towards better
future. Engineered biological systems have unique value
propositions in solving the challenges through the creation of
technologies that are environmentally sustainable. |
