Green digital transformation

While technology can play a critical role in monitoring, mitigating, and adapting to environmental sustainability and climate change challenges, digital transformation brings significant implications. New and emerging technologies, particularly artificial intelligence (AI), are proving transformative in advancing environmental protection and climate action.

This theme explores how AI applications can optimize energy efficiency in networks, predict extreme weather events, monitor biodiversity, and enhance climate modeling, while also addressing the environmental impacts of ICTs themselves, including the use of non-renewable resources, water consumption, resource depletion, and impacts on biodiversity.
