Climate justice and digitalization. A plea to consider broader socio-economic implications of digitalization and climate change

This article by Tilman Santarius in the Journal GAIA Justice and Digitalization – GAIA 2022 considers the broader socio-economic implications of digitalization on various dimensions of climate justice. Indeed, digitalization will affect the way the impacts of global warming and the co-benefits of climate protection are distributed. To advance a fair benefit sharing of digital climate technologies, the decentralization of technological development must be initiated, and rules for fair competition must be established.
