IGF 2021 Main Session: The impact of environment data on sustainability and internet governance

Even though we still need more work and more evidence, the digital world has a strong influence on the environment (and vice versa). The environmental footprint of the digital world is estimated to virtually amount to a 7th continent (or up to 5.6% of humanity’s global footprint).
