Abstract

Abstract: Our world’s resources, and even the planet
itself, are rapidly decaying faster than we can imagine.
While many people debate the causes the effects are
obvious to all: climate change, problem in the animal
world, health problems and rising concern about
sustainability. The question now is to what extent
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has
impacted our world. In fact, what solutions has ICT
provided to the prevailing problems in our world which
we may refer to as development and at the same time
what problems has ICT created in effect. Thus, it
becomes imperative to ask: What are the environmental
implications of the rapidly growing development and use
of ICT with respect to sustainable development now and
in the future? What policies should be implemented in
the production of ICT infrastructures and use of IT for
sustainable development? What implications or threat
do the advanced ICT countries like United States, China
and Japan present to developing countries especially in
Africa, and India in terms of e-waste? These questions
define the focus of this paper. The paper also contributes
to awareness building in form of recommendations
needed so that producers, marketers and consumers will
consider environmental issues when producing, buying
and finally disposing ICT components and resources.
