“Digitizing Sustainability”: Book Explores How Technology Can Be the Key to a More Sustainable Future

The importance of reflecting on climate change has never been more urgent. The impact of human actions on the environment is reflected in extreme weather events, as prolonged droughts, intense storms and sea level rise. Human influence has put our species and our planet on two equal exponential trajectories., but opposite. – One of exponential growth in the name of human progress and the other of exponential degradation to the detriment of our planet.. None of them can be maintained if we want to prosper., or even survive., in our planetary spaceship., explains Australian Kathryn Sforcina in her book Digitising sustainability – The five forces of digital transformation, which arrives in Brazil through an unpublished translation by PUCPRESS – Publisher of the Pontifical Catholic University of Paraná (PUCPR)

The work offers an in-depth analysis of the failure of traditional models of sustainability, questioning the systems and processes that have led us to the current scenario. Instead of following conventional approaches, Sforcina argues that the sustainable practices adopted so far have not generated the necessary results to address environmental challenges effectively. The author proposes that the real solution lies in innovation, highlighting the power of technology as a transformative force capable of driving real and lasting change

Sforcina introduces the concept of "digital sustainability" by exploring the "five forces of digital transformation". These forces, driven by disruptive technologies such as artificial intelligence, Internet of Things and blockchain, They have the potential to revolutionize the way we deal with environmental and social challenges.. Digitising sustainability goes beyond diagnosing problems; The book also offers a practical guide to action. The author outlines the main directions for enterprises, governments and individuals can harness the power of technology to build a more sustainable and resilient future, highlighting the key priorities for a real and effective transformation. I argue that, ideally, Digital technologies can help us deploy a planetary operating system that can balance the profit equation., people and the planet., reveals

With accessible and inspiring language, The work is essential reading for those who wish to understand the crucial role of technology in building a greener and fairer future.. Sforcina offers valuable tools to empower each individual to become an agent of transformation, by uniting ancestral wisdom, scientific knowledge and cutting-edge technologies, all for the sake of creating a more sustainable future, resilient and balanced
