The clean-IT Conference is an international platform for the exchange of ideas to make the digital world more sustainable. High-ranking policy and industry leaders engaged in a dialogue with academia and civil society to address the pressing issue of how digital technologies can support the fight against climate change and what needs to be done to reduce the carbon footprint of digitalization.
It is clear that digital technologies are indispensable for achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and reducing carbon emissions in many sectors. Digital technologies are the key to reduce poverty, malnutrition or hunger, conflict and inequality. Nevertheless, efforts must be made to greatly improve the energy-efficiency of IT systems. This includes measures to develop methods to make IT systems more energy-efficient. To achieve this goal stakeholders of all sectors need to work together to make “sustainability by design” in computing the leading paradigm of digital engineering.
