It’s a climate bomb waiting to detonate, hidden within the carbon powder kegs of Industry, Transportation and Agriculture. Its growth has been left unchecked, being widely seen as a savior instead. What could possibly go wrong with the Digital Industry? Tech is here to save the world. Except that things are always more complicated than they seem in the systemic world we live in.

Carbon emissions are not where we think they are. And beyond carbon, other environmental impacts challenge the continuity of our digital services - those so very entrenched in our daily life that our societies have become dependent on them.

To start building a sustainable and resilient digital world, every one of us - from digital users to Tech workers - need to embrace a new mindset towards the Tech we use. It will then enable us to adopt both the needed quick wins as users and the vital new routines as professionals.

An interactive - and customizable - conference which speaks the hard truth about the environmental footprint of our Digital world and gives its audience all the cards to start acting.
