Digital technologies and services can accelerate socio-ecological transformation. Digitalisation can help make the optimisation of modern energy systems more efficient. However, as seen in particular with internet traffic, some challenges remain dominant: high energy demand, unsustainable consumption patterns and energy imbalances. For example, the energy consumption of the global ICT sector is expected to double by 2030. To counteract such trends, digitalisation needs to be aligned with sustainability goals at the European and international level.
