Twin transition
In response to climate change urgencies, governments are aligning increased digitisation efforts to plans for a greener future.[1] For example The EU[2], Switzerland[3] and the UK[4] have issued policy frameworks promoting the "twin digital and green transition" as part of their commitment to Net-Zero. By adding a digital layer on top of common infrastructures such as mobility, energy, healthcare and education, these infrastructures are claimed to become more easy to configure and therefore optimized for efficient resource use. Investments are made in for example blockchain technologies and cryptocurrencies because they "could be used in material tracing, promising to aid the circular economy by better maintenance and recycling”.[5] 'Digital Twins', virtual models based on large amounts of captured data, "can model, among others, traffic, to optimise traffic flows, reduce jams and slash emissions in the process.”[6] What is often left out of such propositions is how digital technologies are themselves resource intensive, might create issues with privacy and security, require dependencies on Big Tech players, and reshape governance structures.
Anna: Could think of making a keyword on Twin Transition and then having this text. I like it.
