FYI

The "Digitalization for Sustainability" (D4S) project lead, Prof. Tilman 
Santarius, also wrote a book with Dr. Steffen Lange that may be of 
interest to some of you.

*Smarte grüne Welt? Digitalisierung zwischen Überwachung, Konsum und 
Nachhaltigkeit* (Santarius & Lange 2018)

Report "Digitalization for Sustainability (D4S)"
to be launched on September 30th

We are pleased to invite you to the launch of the final report of a 
European expert dialogue on the prospects of digitalization for deep 
sustainability transformations. The launch will take place on Friday 
September 30th, 2022, 12:30-14:00h in Berlin.
Time seems out of joint. The world society has experienced a centennial 
pandemic, the global thermometer has displayed a sequence of hottest 
years on record, and Russia's war on Ukraine has shattered political order.
Governments worldwide hope that digitalization can provide key solutions 
for the pressing social and environmental crises. Yet, we argue, 
digitalization, in its current and mainstream form, is rather 
aggravating than solving many of the problems at hand. What is needed 
instead is a deep sustainability transformation that fundamentally 
reorganizes the economy and all its sectors - agriculture, mobility, 
energy, mobility, consumption, industry, and buildings.
Our report shows how digitalization can support the quest for such a 
deep sustainability transformation. The report provides a blueprint for 
the European Union on how to reconceptualize digitalization so that it 
first and foremost contributes to achieving carbon neutrality, resource 
autonomy and economic resilience while supporting equity and fully 
respecting citizen's rights and privacy.

About the project: The report is the final outcome of the project 
"Digitalization for Sustainability - Science in Dialogue" (D4S). This 
project is dedicated to develop a progressive vision for a 
digitalization that fosters environmental and social sustainability. Its 
research is based on a two-year scientific dialogue amongst 15 European 
expert researchers representing a variety of institutions and schools of 
thought.
