At a time when climate change has an ever-greater impact on the lives of citizens and businesses, accelerating the ecological transition has become a necessity, particularly concerning digital technology. In 2020, the digital sector accounted for 2.5% of France’s annual carbon footprint and 10% of its yearly electricity consumption. Without any action, projections point to an increase in greenhouse gas emissions of more than 45% by 2030.
Facing this rapid digitalization, France stands at the forefront of integrating ecological responsibility into the digital realm, pioneering a comprehensive approach to address the environmental impacts of digital technologies. Recognizing the significant contribution of the digital sector to the country’s carbon footprint and electricity consumption, France has acknowledged the urgent need to meld digital and ecological transitions. This necessity has been amplified by the increasing impacts of climate change on both citizens and businesses.
