In recent years, the role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in the protection of the environment and combating climate change has received significant attention in different types of international forums. At present, the Environment management is the most important but most neglected discipline. It is very closely linked with the national development and economic growth. The developed countries have achieved high level of development and decent standard of living but at the cost of environment damage and depletion of natural resources. On the other hand, the developing countries are still struggling to attain a minimum standard of living though they are also contributing to the environmental damage. Thus both the developed and developing countries are damaging, depleting and polluting the environment; former out of greed and luxury, and the later out of need. It’s the responsibility of each and every individual to protect the environment from damage and to avoid the depletion of natural resources so that we have a rich nation from social and economic point of view. The nature has been providing resources and protection to the living creatures including human from long time but now nature needs protection from the human being. Our objective is to minimize the resource depletion and protection of the environment from damage, which as a result leads to national development and economic growth. The impact of human activities on the environment – and on climate change in particular – are issues of growing concern confronting life on Earth. At the same time, Information and Communication Technologies are being rapidly deployed around the world. Although ICTs require energy resources, they also offer a number of opportunities to advance global environmental research, planning and action. This paper reviews key ICTs trends and provides an overview of the impact that ICTs have on the environment and climate change as well as their role in helping mankind to mitigate and adapt to these changes. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the role of Information and Communication Technologies for promoting environmental sustainability in a changing society.
