Abstract: The relationship between information technology and achieving sustainable development goals is a vital topic that deserves attention and study, as technology and information technology play a crucial role in promoting and achieving sustainable development goals in various aspects. Recent research and studies indicate that adopting technology and information technology can lead to increased productivity, saving time and effort, improving government and public services, and enhancing communication and knowledge exchange. At the same time, information technology can play a crucial role in promoting sustainable development by enhancing education and health, promoting equality and social justice, reducing pollution and the effects of climate change, and enhancing economic solutions and alternative methods. For example, information technology contributes to achieving the goal of eradicating poverty through: - Providing online learning platforms to enhance individuals' skills, distance education, i.e. access to education in remote areas that suffer from a lack of educational resources, and online vocational training by providing training programs to improve skills. Therefore, governments, international organizations and individuals must work together to adopt technology and information technology in a sustainable and effective manner to achieve the sustainable development goals. Innovation and investment in technology must be encouraged, awareness and education about the importance of information technology in promoting sustainable development must be promoted, and the correct and effective use of technology must be directed to achieve its benefits in the best possible way.......... Keywords: .......Information technology - development - sustainable development.
