Climate change has caused increased heat, drought, and insect outbreaks. These changes, in
turn, have made wildfires more numerous and severe. Warming also leading to reduce water
supplies, lower agricultural yields and heat-related health impacts in cities. Internet of Things
(IoT) change the way we work and live, and enrich our society. However, IoT technologies
present several challenges such as increased in energy consumptions, and produces toxic
pollution as well as E-waste in smart cities (link.springer.com 2021). From the different things
proposed IoT could play some role in the eventual implementation. According to
speranzainc.com to help the problem solve they have the thing called Green IoT. This
foreshadows an exciting future in which green networks intimately integrate our physical
environment. Green networks in IoT with sustainable designs are guaranteed to reduce
operating costs and energy consumption and reduce environmental pollution.

The internet of things or IoT applications that can be used to help according to
jigsawacademy.com 2022 are smart homes, smart city, self-driven cars, IoT retail shops,

waste and cost. Industrial internet have the highest overall potential in all things. Smart supply-
chain management can be solutions for tracking goods while they are on the road. Traffic
management improves data on the various routes. Water waste management application
where you can see how much being consumed, produced in the area, and how waste
