eBook – Smart Environment and Climate
Climate change consequences are accelerating globally…
In its recent report, Berg Insight demonstrates that polluted air has immediate and negative aspects on people’s health, environmental ecosystems and the economy :
- The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) has found that air pollution causes nearly 7 million deaths and over 200 million years of healthy life loss per year[1].
- In total, World Bank Group estimates that the costs associated with health damage from air pollution could be as large as US$ 8.1 trillion globally per year[2].
The summer of 2022 brought multiple examples of extreme climate events from around the world that underscore the need for across-the-board policies, programs and solutions to monitor, anticipate and adapt to changing climatic and hydrological conditions and their impacts on environment and wildlife.
“Wildlife populations plummet by 69% since 1970,
now requiring urgent action if we are to reverse nature loss”

The promising role of IoT
As governments, industries, businesses, societies and individuals need to slow warming temperatures and the degradation of our natural environment, targeted IoT applications can play a vital role in supporting sustainability practices in a broad range of domains like air quality and pollution monitoring, weather and atmospheric conditions forecasting, natural phenomena and disasters detection and prevention, or wildlife protection, among others.
IoT sensors and devices, connected to an industrial-grade private IoT network and smart applications, can accelerate the collection of additional data for combined intelligent processing and actionable data modeling.
