| Abstract | ||
| In a larger sense, "green computing" refers to strategies and procedures for creating, utilizing, and disposing of computer resources in three ways: maintaining total computing performance, minimizing the impact on the environment, and maintaining overall computing performance. This entails using less dangerous materials, getting the most usage possible out of a product while using the least amount of energy possible, as well as making old items and the garbage more reusable, recyclable, and biodegradable. Many businesses are making efforts to lessen the negative effects of activities on the environment. The framework Convention on Climate Change of the United Nations (UNFCC)is a global environmental agreement whose goal is to keep greenhouse gas emissions stable to a degree that would prevent adverse anthropogenic interference with the environment. Sustainable development entails growth that doesn't jeopardize the needs of coming generations. That is achieving human development goals while protecting the ecosystems and natural resources that are essential to civilization. The relevance of green computing for sustainable development is emphasized in this paper's assessment of many significant recent studies on the subject. | ||
