IoT applications in sustainability and sustainable community development

The Internet of Things (IoT) merges the global network of the Internet with various tangible objects, fostering innovation in information and communication technology. This integration forms a network of interconnected objects that operate on standard communication protocols, shaping future internet trends. IoT encompasses entities with virtual attributes engaging in social, environmental, and user contexts. Sustainability is integral to IoT, preserving the environment through sustainable resource use and renewable energy promotion. Businesses benefit from sustainable development through resource optimization and enhanced stakeholder relationships. IoT solutions aim to streamline processes and improve quality of life, but their proliferation raises concerns about energy consumption. Initiatives like the Green Internet of Things (G-IoT) prioritize energy efficiency and environmental responsibility to mitigate these impacts.
Strategic technological innovation, particularly in maximizing resource use and reducing emissions, is essential for sustainable development. However, effective implementation requires global coordination and a focus on mitigating IoT's negative environmental impacts. The study highlights the urgency of addressing challenges to meet the United Nations' sustainable development goals by 2030, underlining IoT's pivotal role as a game-changer in this endeavor
