Ecology and Politics in Southeastern Europe: Digital Ecology Footprint

Political decisions are in the middle of most digital and ecology solutions, and they directly affect their implementation into the system. We have products, services and working force, but we need political and governmental support to develop them further and faster, so they can find their direct use.
This lecture is going to explore the correlation between ecology and digital products such as social media, blockchain technology, gaming and streaming industry, as well as the uprising AI global use, with the special focus on the region of Balkans. Today’s global average carbon footprint is close to 4 tons per person. If we want to get down to 2 tons by 2050, we need to change our products, politics, but first of all, we need to understand the digital possibilities, to embrace them and be ready to change our digital habits.
