Abstract

Technology is instrumental in advancing sustainable development, offering innovative solutions to tackle pressing environmental, social, and economic issues. This paper delves into the diverse role of technology in promoting sustainable development goals (SDGs) across various sectors. It examines how technological advancements enable environmental conservation, resource efficiency, sustaina-ble infrastructure development, and access to information and education. Additionally, the abstract highlights the importance of technology in promoting social inclusion and bridging the digital di-vide, particularly in underserved communities. By utilizing digital technologies like IoT, AI, and big data analytics, societies can optimize resource utilization, boost resilience, and improve quality of life while reducing environmental impacts. However, the abstract also underscores the need for re-sponsible technology deployment guided by principles of equity, inclusivity, and environmental stewardship to ensure that technological innovations contribute positively to sustainable develop-ment outcomes."
