New Book Offers 100 IoT Projects for UN Sustainability Goals
A recently published book details 100 Internet of Things projects designed to help organizations and governments address United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The projects utilize readily available sensors and are presented with step-by-step instructions.
A new book, "Saving the Earth with the Internet of Things," has been released, offering a practical guide for implementing Internet of Things (IoT) solutions to tackle global sustainability challenges. The publication provides 100 distinct projects, each accompanied by detailed instructions and a list of necessary components.
The projects are specifically curated to align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, aiming to provide actionable frameworks for non-governmental organizations, educational institutions, students, and local governments. The core premise involves using inexpensive, off-the-shelf sensors to create functional IoT applications.
Each project outline includes a comprehensive shopping list for required sensors, facilitating accessibility for users with varying technical and financial resources. The book's approach focuses on tangible, buildable solutions rather than theoretical concepts, encouraging direct engagement with sustainability initiatives through technology.
While the press release notes an endorsement from Vint Cerf, a prominent figure in internet development, the book's primary focus remains on empowering a wide range of users to contribute to sustainability efforts through accessible IoT implementations. The release was issued on September 7, 2026.
