Have you ever wondered about the environmental impact of our current use of digital devices? Are green IT, dematerialised solutions, and optimisation any good?
The Shift Project looked at the environmental impact of digital technology in its Lean Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) Report published at the end of 2018, followed by two more reports in 2019 and 2020. In all three reports, green IT turns out to be less promising than it seems.
In this episode, we discuss some of the key findings and conclusions of these reports.
