Book DescriptionWhile the climate crisis poses a threat to planetary health, digital transformation continues to reshape our societies. The question for technology leaders is no longer why, but how to act responsibly.
This book equips you with the knowledge and tools to create meaningful change. Updated with the latest trends, case studies, and insights, including responsible and sustainable AI lifecycle governance, the book walks you through every stage of developing and implementing a sustainable IT strategy.
The book is divided into three parts. Part I explores the “why”, the urgent climate crisis we face today. It examines how we arrived at this point, the immediate threats, the planetary boundaries we must restore, and the broader impact of IT on society. Part II covers the “what”, diving into the practical actions we can take to drive meaningful returns on sustainable investments and build a greener future. Part III focuses on the “how”, turning ideas into action. It guides you through setting baselines, defining direction, and using real-world case studies to begin your journey toward delivering impactful, global outcomes.
