Abstract

The rapid growth of information technology (IT) has ushered in a new global, digital-driven, hyperconnected world. Digital and networked technologies are ubiquitous and ingrained in our lives. This chapter discusses the interrelationship between IT and sustainability based on a conceptual framework which focuses on IT for sustainability (IT4S). It discusses selected resource- and well-being-oriented aspects of sustainable design, deployment, and usage of IT, and their adoption in the economy and society. It highlights the critical role that IT is increasingly playing in achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs).
