How IoT can help achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals

Updated: Sep 27, 2021



Now that we are beginning 2021, exploring new techs, like the Internet of Things (IoT) and LoRa® Gateway Kits may help us discover more possibilities in helping the world.


The world is changing, and it needs more individuals to be passionate about creating a better environment. One way to do that is to expand technology’s reach into different fields and systems. In fact, it’s already starting to happen. Think about the mode of instruction for education, considering most classes worldwide are now held online. Technology in the office wherein meetings are done through video conferences, and more. The state it is in now may not seem ideal because it was hurriedly done due to the pandemic, nonetheless, it is safe to say that incorporating technology like IoT into these institutions was a path we were eventually going to take.


Work and education are just the tip of the iceberg for the possibilities that IoT and utilizing LoRaWAN® modules and LoRa Gateway Kits can bring us. IoT solutions can also be utilized is in achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, or SDGs. There are 17 SDGs and the majority of this can be accomplished through the help of IoT and LoRaWAN technology.


With recent innovations on LoRa and LoRaWAN technology, like LoRaWAN modules and LoRa Gateway Kits, planning and executing smart offices and smart cities can be made simpler and possible. Being able to build these is a nod to achieving sustainable cities and communities (SDG 11) and in the process, it would promote affordable and clean energy (SDG 7) and foster the creation of resilient infrastructure, innovation, and industrialization (SDG 9).

Furthermore, technology is making strides in agriculture. Incorporating LoRaWAN Modules into farming assists farmers in monitoring their crops, predicting the weather, lessening the use of pesticides, and more. Through this improvement, providing solutions to several SDGs such as zero hunger (2), good health and well-being (3), climate action (13), and life on land (15) can be done.

The potential of IoT, with the help of LoRaWAN technology like LoRaWAN Modules and LoRa Gateway Kit, is vast and continues to grow. New innovations can be made as the world progresses, and technology adapts around it. As an individual involved in technology, it is time to find more ways to create deployments for the betterment of our surroundings.
