How can digital technologies help us tackle sustainability challenges?

Project Overview

LATEST: Read our thinkpiece about how digital technologies can help us create a sustainable future http://bit.ly/Wg58QW

We need to radically change the way that we live, and we need to do it fast. The pressures of climate change, population growth, food & energy security, and social inequality are increasing daily. Current actions are simply not keeping up with the scale of the challenges we face. We need bold actions to shift our world onto a more sustainable path.

We’re excited about digital technologies because they are widely understood and heralded as enablers of change. They can help us deliver a sustainable future and help pioneering businesses navigate the changes that are altering the world around us. To create the change we need, and to respond to the changes we see, we need to understand how digital technology enables change and harness its potential and that of the people who work with it.

Through our Wired for Change strand of work we explore how digital technologies can be harnessed for change, and run hackathons to put the power of the digital community against the tricky challenges we face. We'd love to work with you to do this. 

If you would like to partner with us on our Wired for Change activity, contact James Taplin or Hugh Knowles.
