This chapter deals with green and sustainable nanotribology. It highlights the challenges, development and opportunities of these new, emerging fields of science and embeds them in the major frame of the most serious problems we currently face on our planet. Fifteen global challenges are annually identified by the Millennium Project, a major undertaking that was started in 1996 and that incorporates organizations of the United Nations, governments, corporations, non-governmental organizations, universities and individuals from more than 50 countries from around the world.
