Abstract

The greenhouse effect is the main cause of the climate crisis. Certain gases, notably methane, carbon dioxide, fluorine gases and nitrous oxide, in the Earth's atmosphere mimic the impact of glass in a greenhouse, by trapping solar heat and preventing it from escaping back into space, contributing to global warming and consequently driving into the increase in sudden weather changes and ever-increasing intensity of dangerous weather events. Moreover, the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide increased at about 48% of pre-industrial levels (before 1750) by 2020. In the European Union, in the second quarter of 2022, the sectors of economy which emitted the most greenhouse gases were Construction and Manufacturing (23%), Electricity and Gas Supply (19%) and Households (17%), followed by product Transport and Storage, also known as Logistics, (14%) and Agriculture (13%). The role of Information Technology and Communication Technologies emerges as crucial since it leads both to the digitization of processes and to the increasingly efficient use of resources in the above-mentioned areas. However, a prerequisite for the smooth operation of information systems and telecommunications is the observance and adoption of security measures, i.e. Cybersecurity. More specifically, what is required in Cybersecurity is the security of devices and data from attacks from many sides that aim to destroy or capture data. The purpose of the thesis is the study of Cybersecurity and the highlighting of its’ importance in the key sectors that contribute to the Climate Crisis, Precision Agriculture, Transport and Storage (Logistics) and finally the field of Energy and the Smart Cities of the future. The research was carried out using the bibliography from scientific articles while applying the appropriate bibliometric methods and using data from accredited sources, i.e. surveys and news from the Internet. The first chapter presents and develops the importance of Cybersecurity in Precision Agriculture. The second chapter analyzes the Blockchain technology, i.e. the protocol of the future in Cybersecurity, in the area of Product Transportation and Storage. Finally, in the third chapter regarding the areas of Energy and Smart Cities, research is carried out on the upcoming Smart Grids of Electricity and the Cybersecurity rules that will govern them.
