DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION: DRIVING THE ROAD TO SUSTAINABILITY

Terms such as eco-friendly, sustainability, sustainable development, climate change, and threshold are not only dominating global discussions but also shaping policymaking worldwide. The crossing of the 1.5°C global annual average threshold has become a critical concern for scientists and researchers. Governments and policymakers are actively working toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to create a more sustainable future. Digitalisation has emerged as a key driver of sustainability and inclusiveness by integrating systems and fostering synergies. Advancements in digital technology are accelerating both transformation and transition toward low-carbon pathways, resource efficiency, and inclusive growth.
Its applications extend far beyond individual industries. Promoting electric vehicles, renewable energy, waste management solutions, and eco-friendly products and processes are some prominent initiatives being widely adopted. The role of digital technologies in improving efficiency, enabling cross-sector collaboration, and supporting sustainable development forms the core of this study. This work seeks to highlight the significant contributions of digitalisation across sectors to sustainability and to propose strategies for harnessing its full potential in building a sustainable planet.
