The environment in all its aspects and how it relates to SDGs

You delve into the following SDGs:

	Goal 12: Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
	Goal 13: Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
	Goal 14: Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development
	Goal 15: Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss

Is there an inherent contradiction in turning to ICTs for sustainability solutions, given that ICTs are big carbon polluters? You will consider a case study of how the carbon footprint of ICTs can be reduced, how a search engine can contribute to climate action, how blockchain is used to maintain fish stocks, and how crowdsourced data and digital mapping are used to stop deforestation.
