Description
As the world embraces digital transformation, the energy demands of data centers, blockchain networks, artificial intelligence, and digital governance systems are increasing at an unprecedented rate. The reliance on energy-intensive technologies raises critical questions about sustainability, environmental impact, and equitable access to energy resources.
This session will explore the intersection of digital governance and energy sustainability, addressing key issues such as:
1. The environmental impact of digital infrastructure and how to mitigate it through green energy solutions.
2. The role of policy and governance in ensuring equitable access to sustainable energy for digital transformation.
3. Innovations in renewable energy and energy-efficient technologies for powering digital platforms.
4. The geopolitical and economic implications of energy dependencies in a digitally connected world.
5. Strategies for enhancing resilience in digital governance by integrating decentralized and renewable energy sources.

To ensure seamless interaction between onsite and online participants at IGF 2025, a hybrid facilitation approach will be used. A dedicated moderator will balance contributions from both audiences, ensuring equal speaking opportunities. Live Q&A tools (e.g., Slido, Zoom Q&A) will enable both groups to submit and upvote questions. Real-time polls (Mentimeter, Poll Everywhere) will foster engagement, with results displayed for all attendees. The session will feature optimized audio-visual setup to ensure clarity for virtual participants. Onsite and online attendees will engage via live chat, interactive whiteboards (Miro, Padlet), and social media hashtags to continue discussions. Post-session, a recording and discussion thread will be available for follow-up engagement.
