  • Abstract

    Information Technology (IT) has emerged as a powerful enabler in addressing contemporary ‎environmental challenges by enhancing monitoring, analysis, and decision-making processes. ‎Advances in technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data analytics, Internet of Things (IoT), remote sensing, geographic information systems (GIS), and cloud computing have significantly improved the ability to track environmental changes, predict risks, and implement sustainable management strategies. These tools support real-time air and water quality ‎monitoring, climate modeling, biodiversity conservation, waste management optimization, and ‎energy efficiency improvements. Furthermore, digital platforms facilitate environmental ‎governance, public awareness, and policy enforcement through transparent data sharing and ‎participatory approaches. Despite these benefits, challenges such as the high energy consumption of data centers, data security concerns, and unequal access to digital infrastructure remain critical issues. This review highlights key IT-driven solutions for environmental protection, evaluates ‎their practical applications, and discusses future directions for integrating green computing ‎practices to minimize the ecological footprint of digital systems. The study underscores the ‎transformative role of IT in promoting sustainable development while emphasizing the need for ‎responsible and energy-efficient technological deployment‎.
