The Federal Environment Agency’s (Umweltbundesamt, UBA) publication “Shaping sustainable digitisation” was translated into Chinese with support from the “Sino-German Environmental Partnership” project implemented by GIZ on behalf of BMUV.

Digitisation is not only transforming our society it is also having an impact on the environment: On the one hand, digitisation can improve the state of the environment for example through digitally optimised production processes. On the other hand, negative environmental rebound effects can arise, like a higher demand for internet-enabled products from which an increase in usage of resources and energy during production processes results. With this impulse paper, ⁠UBA⁠ shows where digitisation can create opportunities and challenges for environmental policy. In doing so, UBA aims to help shape digitisation in line with the guiding principle of sustainability.
