The Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST, President Kichul Lim) announced the publication of "Environment and the Future of Possibility: An Environmental Engineer's Final Discourse," a book compiling conversations between the late Professor Kyoung-Woong Kim, an environmental engineer who passed away this fall, and his longtime colleague and co-author, Professor Jae-Won Cho of the Department of Earth, Environmental, Urban and Civil Engineering at UNIST, on Monday, the 22nd. "Environment and the Future of Possibility: An Environmental Engineer's Final Discourse" poses pervasive questions from the perspective of an environmental engineer. Beyond academic debate, it fundamentally reexamines the world we live in and the possibilities we should choose for the future. Rather than limiting the environment to a target of protection or a means of policy, it focuses on repositioning it as a central principle of thinking that encompasses technology, society, and ethics.
