DESCRIPTION:The biennium 2024-2025 marks the occasion of major negotiation
 s in global digital governance – from the Summit of the Future and a Glo
 bal Digital Compact in September 2024\, to the 20-year review of the World
  Summit of the Information Society in 2025. Within the consultations leadi
 ng to the upcoming negotiations\, increasing consideration is being given 
 to how new digital technologies\, particularly artificial intelligence\, a
 ffect the planet\, both positively and negatively. The seminar will explor
 e the nexus between digital ecosystems and environmental concerns\, tracin
 g these concerns within the global roadmap for digital cooperation. It wil
 l examine how social media affects climate change discourse and action in 
 the age of disinformation\; the degree to which environmental concerns man
 ifest within ethical or regulatory frameworks for AI development and use\;
  and\, more recently\, the growing body of research regarding sustainabili
 ty of AI models in terms of natural resources consumption. It will also lo
 ok at concerted efforts to steer “technology for good”\, and what is n
 ext for this thematic area in digital cooperation.
