Digital technologies have a transformative impact in the economy and wider society. New innovations in Information Communication Technology (ICT) such as the next generation '5G' internet, automation and robotics, and big data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) have the potential to make a profound societal impact and the pace of development is staggering. The same technologies can though have a negative impact on society, including significantly increasing the carbon emissions related to ICT and thus creating damaging impacts on our environment. Managing this duality between ICT's benefits and risks must be at the heart of future ICT design and innovation - ensuring ICT can continue to bring value to our society and the economy, while keeping ICT innovations from exceeding planetary boundaries. However, there is currently scarce consideration of systemic impacts within ICT innovation, and design processes today lack the information and tools required to embed environmental sustainability into ICT.This project, PARIS-DE, will ensure that the carbon emissions associated with the ICT sector are aligned with the Paris agreement: limiting temperature increases to 1.5 degrees Celsius. To do this, the PARIS-DE project will develop a digital sustainability framework that systemically considers ICT's impacts and ensures Paris-compliant design through two key concepts: i) an evidence base around carbon emissions in the digital economy, and ii) a responsible innovation approach that targets environmental sustainability, yet maintains key aspects of ICT design that enable societal thriving. Using a range of disciplinary perspectives including computer science, human-centred design, philosophy and ethics and environmental economics, PARIS-DE will develop digital tools that support ICT development within planetary boundaries, and will create, demonstrate and evaluate the digital sustainability framework through three case studies: 1) big data and AI, 2) autonomous systems, and 3) video streaming. These case studies, taken as representative of the digital economy, will allow for an evaluation of different underlying technologies that threaten rising emissions. The case studies will also involve working closely with key stakeholders in ICT innovation (e.g. designers and developers in the ICT sector), ensuring the framework is comprehensive and effective. PARIS-DE will ultimately allow the ICT sector to innovate technology more sustainably and in-line with climate change mitigation targets.

数字技术对经济和更广泛的社会产生了变革性的影响。信息通信技术（ICT）的新创新，例如下一代“ 5G”互联网，自动化和机器人技术以及大数据和人工智能（AI）有可能产生深远的社会影响，并且发展的速度令人震惊。尽管相同的技术可能会对社会产生负面影响，包括显着增加与ICT相关的碳排放，从而对我们的环境产生破坏性影响。在ICT的利益和风险之间管理这种双重性必须是未来ICT设计和创新的核心 - 确保ICT可以继续为我们的社会和经济带来价值，同时使ICT Innovations无法超过行星界限。但是，目前缺乏对ICT Innovation内的系统影响的考虑，当今的设计过程缺乏将环境可持续性嵌入ICT所需的信息和工具。该项目巴黎 - DE将确保与ICT行业相关的碳排放与巴黎协议相符：限制温度增加到1.5 deprees Celsius。为此，巴黎-DE项目将开发一个数字可持续性框架，该框架从系统地考虑ICT的影响并确保通过两个关键概念确保符合巴黎的设计：i）围绕数字经济中的碳排放的证据基础，ii）一种负责任的创新方法，其目标是环境可持续性，但仍能保持社会影响力的ICT设计关键方面。使用一系列纪律观点，包括计算机科学，以人为本的设计，哲学和伦理和环境经济学，巴黎DE将开发数字工具，以支持行星界限内的ICT开发，并将通过三个案例研究创建，证明和评估数字可持续性框架：1）大数据和AI，2），2）自动系统以及3）视频流。这些案例研究以代表数字经济的代表，将允许评估威胁排放量增加的不同基础技术。案例研究还将涉及与ICT Innovation中的主要利益相关者（例如，ICT行业的设计师和开发人员）紧密合作，以确保框架全面有效。巴黎 - 戴（Paris-De）最终将允许ICT行业更可持续地与气候变化的缓解目标创新技术。
