We are facing major environmental and societal challenges that threaten the survival of our societies. Climate change and the accelerated disappearance of living species are threatening our survival, or at the very least, the stability of our societies. Digital tools are often presented as the solution to these problems. Unfortunately, they are also a significant cause of these same problems. In this conference, we will see the direct impacts of digital technology, how we can act to address these impacts, as well as the numerous indirect impacts and societal consequences they engender. Finally, we will examine why it is so difficult to act and what obstacles prevent us from doing so.
