Towards Our Common Digital Future
Summary of the WBGU's main opinion
The report makes it clear that sustainability strategies and concepts must be fundamentally further developed in the age of digitisation. Only if digital change and the Transformation towards Sustainability are synchronized can we succeed in advancing climate and Earth-system protection and in making social progress in human development. Without formative political action, digital change will further accelerate resource and energy consumption, and exacerbate damage to the environment and the climate. It is therefore an urgent political task to create the conditions needed to place digitalization at the service of sustainable development.
In addition to the summary,research recommendations are also available as pdf downloads.
