Introduction
Smart computing and digitally connected society play a major role in the achievement of
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and people can harness their benefits to achieve
these goals (Adams, Kewell and Parry, 2018). The benefit of smart computing is well
integrated with the SDGs into the 2030 agenda, which is not only limited to Goal 9 (Industry,
innovation and infrastructure). Through information and communication technology (ICT)
such as internet of things (IoT), robotics and cloud computing, major changes can be
brought to current operations that increase efficiency and drive economic growth of a
country by achieving SDGs (Wu et al., 2018). In the case of Australia, one of the key
challenges is the lack of environmental initiatives to reduce pollution and protect natural
resources, which makes it challenging for the country to achieve SDGs (Thwaites and Kestin,
2018). The objective of this report is to evaluate how smart computing technology can assist
in addressing this issue by transforming current processes to make sure that SDGs are
achieved within a reasonable timeframe. This report will evaluate the issue of high carbon
emissions by companies and people in Australia through Root Cause analysis and solution
will be given to transform the scenario by using smart computing.
