Digitalisation, sustainability and environmental justice: Leaving no one behind in the twin transition
(2025) Stainforth, Thorfinn; Institute for European Environmental Policy; Umweltbundesamt; Beckert, Barbara
This report examines the environmental justice implications of digitalisation in the EU and provides recommendations for short to medium term action. Environmental justice covers the fairness of both the decision-making process as well as the differential environmental effects of different policies. The focus here is on participation in environmental decision-making and fairness in the ICT value chain because these are areas where there has already been some progress, but where civil society actors have also identified a need for further urgent action. The issues of access to information, digital tools, and systemic change are also examined, as well as suggestions for how to better integrate a broader agenda for justice in sustainable digitalisation into the EU policy framework, going beyond incremental improvements and taking into account broader issues such as social and economic inequality.
