Examining the Role of IoT and Cloud Computing in Achieving Sustainable Development Goals

Abstract

In the pursuit of global sustainability, the combination of the internet of things (IoT) and cloud computing (CC) emerges as a powerful catalyst. This integration plays a crucial role in addressing the significant challenges outlined in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and promises positive impacts across various sectors. This exploration thoroughly examines the connections between IoT and CC, uncovering their potential contributions to sustainable development. As the authors explore this topic, they highlight how these advanced technologies pave the way for a more interconnected and sustainable future, providing solutions to complex issues such as healthcare, clean energy, and climate action. This chapter aims to present a more detailed understanding of the implications and applications of integrating IoT and CC for global sustainability in a clear and accessible manner.
