OECD COP30 Virtual Pavilion

Advancing an environmentally sustainable digital transformation: Implementing the OECD Recommendation on Digital Technologies and the Environment

OnlineNov 14, 2025 | 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM

Description

Digital technologies play a growing role in advancing climate resilience, including by increasing energy efficiency, managing scarce resources, monitoring the implementation of environmental standards and empowering consumers to make environmentally sustainable choices. At the same time, digital transformation, including advances in AI and the growing generation of data and use, carries an environmental footprint that must be addressed.  Drawing on the OECD Recommendation on Digital Technologies and the Environment, adopted by OECD Ministers in June 2025, this session will explore how countries and other stakeholders in the digital ecosystem can leverage digital technologies to support environmental sustainability while reducing their environmental footprint. Panellists will discuss key challenges in designing and implementing environmentally sustainable digital policies, share good practices from around the world and discuss the path forward towards a more sustainable digital future.
