This project aims to explore how telecommunications’ technology can help achieve global sustainability development goals (SDGs), such SDGs cover but are not limited to, (Affordable and clean energy, Industry innovation and infrastructure, Sustainability cities and communities, and Climate Action) by ensuring universal connectivity through the use of environment-friendly, or "green," technologies. By identifying and analyzing projects that may directly or indirectly impact a sustainable environment. And that will allow us to focus on appropriate investment in terms of strategic initiatives and capabilities.By prioritizing solutions that maximize the economic value, thus creating a positive environmental impact by supporting progressive social development, minimizing carbon emissions, and striving for net-zero impact. In other words, the projects seek to provide a valuable contribution toward a sustainable future.The ultimate outcomes of this study highlight the gained insights that influenced the development of technology strategies within the organization. Moreover, the study empowers tangible decision support in effectively driving sustainable practices and innovation to expand more verticals. To conclude, this work provides a solid foundation for developing and anchoring sustainability strategy and target.

It is replicable through the use of environment-friendly, or "green," technologies.
By leveraging sustainable practices in ICT infrastructure and operations, the project not only supports universal connectivity but also aligns with broader environmental objectives. Through the adoption of green technologies, such as energy-efficient networking equipment and renewable energy sources for powering data centers and communication networks, the project aims to reduce the carbon footprint of ICT while expanding its reach. This approach not only addresses the immediate goal of universal access but also contributes to a more sustainable and environmentally conscious ICT ecosystem, laying the groundwork for a truly inclusive and environmentally responsible digital future.
At its core (ICT) aims to provide universal access to information and services.
