Green IO
Hi,
A new Green IO episode “Exploring the digital revolution paradox from a UN perspective with Paz Pena and Pablo José Gamez Cersosimo” is now available!
It’s a 252 pages report with the foreword of António Guterres, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, talking about digitalization and sustainability. And, for once, it’s not another report from the UN stating “let’s digitize everything to boost sustainability”. Quite the contrary as it states a “unequal ecological exchange between developed and developing countries regarding digitization”.
To discuss this “scientific report based on an ethical approach” as he described it, we welcome one of its contributors, Pablo José Gamez Cersosimo, based in the Netherlands. Another contributor, Paz Pena Ochoa, based in Chile, joined us to share her unique perspective on Latin America. Together they shared great insights about:
🗺️ Colonialism and Digitalization
🪨 Geopolitical Importance of Critical Minerals
💧 Water Footprint of Digitalization
⚒️ Water Usage and Mining in Chile
🔎 The Digital Divide: A Growing Gap
🇺🇳 The Role of the UN in Digital Sustainability
And much more!
