Chapter 7. Information and digital technology trends in the green economy
Keywords:
technology, digital, information, green economy, trends, sustainable development goals
Synopsis
Transformations of national economies under conditions of instability
Information and digital green tech encompass many technological practices, all geared towards safeguarding the environment. Green tech addresses a climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting a circular economy from harnessing renewable energy and eco-friendly transportation to revolutionizing agriculture. The aim of the research paper is to highlight the role of information and digital technology trends in the green economy. The digital transition towards a greener future prioritizes sustainability through resource optimization, waste reduction, and recycling. Digital green IT refers to adopting environmentally sustainable computing practices, striving to curtail energy usage, mitigating the technology sector’s impact on global emissions, and combatting climate change. Practical implications of the research are represented in green tech innovation clusters, digital technology trends in the green economy and a case study of digital technologies’ effect on the energy efficiency in Ukraine during the war. The paper has been developed through a systematic methodology, centered on a desk research, surveys, and empirical analysis while formulating hypotheses, testing them for visualizing research results to identify, short-list, and validate economy trends in green architecture and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of Ukraine under conditions of instability due to the information and digital green tech of Ukraine under conditions of war.
