Abstract

This study explores the application of current technologies in Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and Renewable Energy in areas critical to environmental sustainability, such as agriculture, energy, and transportation. Methodology: A thorough analysis of existing literature was conducted to evaluate the impact of these technologies on achieving sustainability goals. The review focused on the actual technological applications aimed at improving efficiency and reducing environmental pollution. Results: Artificial Intelligence and Renewable Energy technologies have contributed significantly to reducing pollution while enhancing efficiency. The Internet of Things has been instrumental in improving the monitoring and analysis of environmental data. Various applications have led to cost savings and reductions in carbon emissions. Conclusion: The integration of these technologies is crucial for achieving true environmental sustainability. However, public awareness and infrastructure development remain major challenges. These technologies require continued investment and further development to realize long-term environmental benefits
