Description
1) Objective
This contest is looking for feasible ideas from all over the world on how digital tools can contribute to environmental and social progress and support regenerative communities.
They really mean regenerative and not just ‘harming the environment less’. Is there a way digital tools can help to establish them? We all know that digital tools are super powerful. But most of the time, we don’t think about the fact that ICTs are needing tons of resources (e.g.: infrastructure, electric power). We also tend to “forget” that some digital tools are really not deployed in an environmentally or socially ethical way.
You might think now: “Hey, this topic is really broad?!” Yes, it is! Don’t hesitate, get creative! To give you some inspiration: your ideas on digital solutions could target resource management, education, community engagement, or agriculture. If you need more, have a look at the links at the bottom of the page.
