About the Government Digital Sustainability Alliance (GDSA)
Digital transformation can assist sustainability, but it can also be an inhibitor. To ensure that digital technologies are a force to achieve our Greening Government Commitments, Net Zero Strategy, and support the fruition of the UNs Sustainable Development Goals, businesses and governments need to work together to ensure that digital technology puts less pressure on the environment. The achievement of digital sustainability highly depends on stakeholders’ engagement and the co-creation of shared value.
The GDSA circular economy working group is on a mission to help raise awareness on the benefits of a circular economy.
They commissioned the Karma Chameleon, created by e-waste sculptor Zak Miskry. The sculpture aims to promote positive conversations around tech and the circular economy.
