Environmental sustainability through the lenses of digital development

Environmental sustainability through the lenses of digital development

23 SeptemberSep 2020 15:00 - 15:45

SEEdigital HallMain sessionsDigitalisation

In his recent Roadmap for Digital Cooperation, the UN Secretary-General noted that ‘the digital revolution can be steered to combat climate change and advance global sustainability, environmental stewardship and human well-being’. Looking at the SEE+ region, how do stakeholders understand the interplay between digital development and a sustainable environment? As governments and the private sector devise strategies and policies focused on advancing digital transformation, to what extent do they also consider environmental sustainability issues? How can the region make better use of digital technologies to protect the environment? While exploring these and related questions, the session intends to uncover existing and desired/needed policies and initiatives focused on (1) addressing the environmental risks posed by digital technologies and (2) using such technologies to draw attention to and tackle environmental challenges.
