Digitalization has game-changing potential for sustainability. This presentation elaborates on the influence of digitalization and the possibilities of sustainable digitalization. It addresses the problem that currently, we have a clear idea of how digitization can be used to fuel existing individual business models. Yet, we have hardly any drafts of what an overall economic future can look like under the conditions of digitalization that leads to more justice and social integration. The questions of digitalization are too urgent and too pressing to be left alone. Instead, we have to discuss and define digital ethics and the future of humans in a connected world. I’m supportive of the proposal for a European digitized sustainability society.
