Green Cognitive Radio (GCR) is a Cognitive Radio, which is aware of sustainable development and takes it as an additional constraint in the decision making function of the cognitive cycle. In this paper, we remind the Cognitive Radio concept, and then explain how the sensors distributed within the three layers of our model help to reach GCR. The use of these sensors, so as to make the correct decision and to comply with the sustainable development constraints, is explained through two examples related to power consumption
