Digitalisation and its impact on our planetary boundaries: Data and Server Parks impact on our environment

Information and Communication Technology is at the heart of today’s digital transformation - but is it sustainable in itself? And can it truly help other sectors reduce their environmental footprint?

In this seminar, we explore the latest insights into the sustainability of ICT, the progress made in evaluating its impacts, and the challenges that remain. Understanding these dynamics is key to seeing whether digitalisation is helping, or hindering, our path toward a more sustainable future.

This seminar features:

• Leif Katsuo Oxenløwe , Professor and Centre leader of the DTU SPOC Centre (Silicon Photonics for Optical Communications)
• Gudrun Gudmundsdottir , PhD researcher at the DTU Centre for Absolute Sustainability and SPOC Centre
  
  Both speakers are affiliated to DTU Electro , Department of Electrical and Photonics Engineering.
