Summary: Whole World is marching towards digitization in almost every field. Evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT) has accelerated digitization. While digitization in every field increases efficiency and resilience, at the same time, it is resulting in  increased Greenhouse gas (GHG) and hence the carbon (CO2) emissions. Unless otherwise the products are designed to be sustainable, the carbon emissions will destroy the green planet. Not only that, soon we will exhaust the natural available resources. To combat this, the majority of technology companies around the World have pledged to meet the Net Zero challenge. This lecture aims at highlighting the concepts of GHG, the need to make products sustainable, design for sustainability for green hardware and software, typical use cases of green network.
