Goals And Objectives Of The Track

Sustainable Technology and Digital Transformation play a significant role in contributing to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by leveraging digital tools and platforms, addressing the social and environmental impacts of digital technologies, and promoting their responsible and ethical use for sustainable outcomes. Digitalization is expected to be an essential precondition for six major transformations needed to reach the sustainable development goal targets by 2030, including improved human capital, responsible consumption and production, a decarbonized energy system, healthy, affordable food and clean water, sustainable cities and communities, and a digital government. However, it’s important to note that digital technology is responsible for a significant share of global greenhouse gas emissions, and its environmental impact should be carefully considered.

The SDG Digital Acceleration Agenda, developed by ITU and UNDP, provides a roadmap to governments on their digital transformation, showcasing concrete examples of how data and digital technologies can be used to bring the SDGs back on track. In summary, sustainable technology and digital transformation are instrumental in achieving the SDGs by leveraging digital tools and platforms, addressing the social and environmental impacts of digital technologies, and promoting their responsible and ethical use for sustainable outcomes.

Contributions related to the following areas and fields are welcome:

• Advancing sustainable technologies and digital solutions for sustainable development.
• Integrating digital tools and platforms for monitoring and managing sustainability initiatives.
• Addressing the social and environmental impacts of digital technologies.
• Promoting responsible and ethical use of technology for sustainable outcomes.
