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.
