Abstract:
Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are a collection of devices and services that acquire, transfer, and display data and information digitally. Information and communication technology (ICT) is developing rapidly and is playing an increasingly important role in society. The role of ICT in environment management gains more importance due to its extensive use in various arenas of environment like weather forecasting, systems in the climate change, forest Degradation, hurricanes and typhoons anticipations, smart waste management systems, energy supply efficiency and tourism industry. The impacts of ICT can be seen both positive as well as negative. Thus, ICT plays a crucial role in environmental economics. ICT needs to be use in most effective ways thereby reducing the operational challenges that are directly responsible for production of significant amount of electronic waste generated at the end of the useful lifecycle of an ICT gadget and Green House Gases (GHGs). The collaboration of ICT with environment must focus on reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions from the design, use and disposal of technology products.
