The contribution of data science applications to a green economy
Data science driven applications (e.g., big data and artificial intelligence) can support the transition to a green economy. However, this requires overcoming existing barriers and providing appropriate framework conditions. Based on an analysis of 295 German and US start-ups using
data science to create positive environmental impacts, we identify six main obstacles to a greater use of data science for sustainable transformation, and propose six measures that can be used to formulate policy recommendations.This paper examines the intersections between the hoped-for
shift toward a green economy and data science (various forms of big data analytics and artificial intelligence). It does so through an analysis of data science applications with environmental relevance developed or deployed by German and US start-ups. The majority of the data science applications
identified seek to improve the efficiency of existing products and processes, or to provide information. Applications that support more fundamental transformations of existing production and consumption patterns are fewer in number. To increase the sustainability-related impact of data science,
it seems necessary to adjust policy framework conditions. Based on our findings, recommendations for action are presented regarding sustainability-related changes of the legal and regulatory framework conditions.
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.
