Abstract
Digitalization can be a promising tool in the fight against climate change. Besides influencing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigation strategies, digitalization affects matters of climate justice, including the way the impacts of global warming and the co-benefits of climate protection
are distributed. For example, to advance fair benefit sharing of digital climate technologies, the decentralization of technological development must be initiated, and rules for fair competition must be established. Political action and the shaping of digitalization are necessary to govern
the societal implications of these urgent developments.
期刊介绍:
GAIA is a peer-reviewed inter- and transdisciplinary journal for scientists and other interested parties concerned with the causes and analyses of environmental and sustainability problems and their solutions.
Environmental problems cannot be solved by one academic discipline. The complex natures of these problems require cooperation across disciplinary boundaries. Since 1991, GAIA has offered a well-balanced and practice-oriented forum for transdisciplinary research. GAIA offers first-hand information on state of the art environmental research and on current solutions to environmental problems. Well-known editors, advisors, and authors work to ensure the high quality of the contributions found in GAIA and a unique transdisciplinary dialogue – in a comprehensible style.
