Digital technologies are indispensable to achieving Sustainable Development Goals and reducing carbon emissions in many sectors. Yet, computer systems themselves have an immense energy requirement for their countless devices, data centers, applications and global networks. The shift to digital in living, learning and earning has brought us closer to the time when digitization will have a major negative impact on the climate. Since digitization has many important benefits, research, teaching and policy must strategically prioritize to deliver digitization with less energy consumption, increase algorithmic efficiency so that people and the planet thrive, and make “Sustainability by Design” the new leading paradigm in digital engineering worldwide.
