Action Plan for a Sustainable Planet in the Digital Age

Digitalization has enormous potential to support progress towards sustainability however we need to move the focus away from the pursuit of short-term, unsustainable gains towards the achievement of long-term values-driven sustainable outcomes. Three fundamental shifts are needed: Shift 1 Enable Alignment: Create the enabling conditions to align the vision, values and objectives of the digital age with sustainable development. Shift 2 Mitigate Negative Impact: A commitment to sustainable digitalization that mitigates the negative environmental and social impacts of digital technologies. Shift 3 Accelerate Innovation: Directing efforts and investments toward digital innovation that accelerates environmental and social sustainability. Within each shift, this report identifies six strategic priorities that must be addressed during the 2022-2025 timeline. CODES will contribute to these fundamental shifts in four main ways: Convene and connect a global community of common purpose to advance these 3 shifts. Identify enabling policies and systemic transformations towards all 18 strategic priorities. Suggest impact initiatives as actionable items to concurrently progress strategic priorities. Foster and demonstrate political leadership in advocating for and realizing the impact initiatives.
