This book chapter examines the role of digitization in driving sustainable development across various sectors and regions. In an increasingly interconnected world, digital technologies offer unprecedented opportunities to address pressing challenges related to environmental conservation, social equity, and economic growth. By harnessing the power of data analytics, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things (IoT), digitization enables more efficient resource management, better decisionmaking, and enhanced collaboration among stakeholders. This chapter explores case studies and best practices from diverse contexts, illustrating how digitization initiatives have contributed to achieving key Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) outlined by the United Nations. Moreover, it discusses the importance of inclusive digital access and literacy in ensuring that the benefits of digitization are equitably distributed, particularly among marginalized communities. By elucidating the potential synergies between digitization and sustainable development, this chapter aims to inform policymakers, practitioners, and researchers about the transformative possibilities of leveraging technology for global progress.
