Synopsis:

This open access book presents peer-reviewed articles from the 2nd International Conference on Creativity, Technology, and Sustainability (CCTS 2025), held on 30 April-1 May, 2025, at Dar Al-Hekma University in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. It explores the dynamic interplay between technology and sustainability, emphasizing the need for advancements to align with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The book includes case studies, literature reviews, and scientific works, organized into three main parts: Harnessing Technology for a Sustainable World; Diverse Applications of Technology and Creative Solutions; and Shaping a Sustainable Future.
  
Readers will discover how technology fosters innovation, safety, and sustainability across various fields, aligning with specific UN SDGs. Practical applications highlight sustainability awareness and responsible behavior, facilitating knowledge transfer for the public sector, innovative companies, academia, and research centers. Targeting researchers, policymakers, sustainability advocates, and decision-makers committed to achieving the UN's SDGs and Saudi Vision 2030, this book identifies key areas for attention in architecture, design, social and environmental sciences, law, and business. It serves as a valuable guide for professionals in technology-driven sectors like Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things, emphasizing technology's vital role in addressing sustainability challenges, enhancing efficiency, promoting environmentally friendly processes, and reducing costs, ultimately improving the quality of life for all.
