  • Abstract
    In recent decades, telecommunications have not only become an essential need of human life but it also plays key roles in connecting businesses and processing business information around the globe. As the telecommunications industry is one of the most important sectors of the world economy, it too goes through similar kind of challenges due to tough rivalries from competitors. In this article, we provide the recent global trends of population, carbon emissions, and telecommunications. We then show the needs of sustainability of the telecommunication sector and the ways to achieve them with the present outlook.
