Technologies numériques et environnement

Abstract

International audienceThis paper discusses the relationship between digital technologies and environment. The aim is to better understand to which extent these technologies can help us to reduce our negative ecological impacts, what are their own ecological impacts and how they can be overcome. To do so, we suggest a taxonomy of the relationship between digital technologies and environment, give examples about how these technologies can help to preserve this environment, and discuss the limits of green digital technologies to save the planet
