Climate change and COP26: Are digital technologies and information management part of the problem or the solution? An editorial reflection and call to action
Open accessAbstract
The UN COP26 2021 conference on climate change offers the chance for world leaders to take action and make urgent and meaningful commitments to reducing emissions and limit global temperatures to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels by 2050. Whilst the political aspects and subsequent ramifications of these fundamental and critical decisions cannot be underestimated, there exists a technical perspective where digital and IS technology has a role to play in the monitoring of potential solutions, but also an integral element of climate change solutions. We explore these aspects in this editorial article, offering a comprehensive opinion based insight to a multitude of diverse viewpoints that look at the many challenges through a technology lens. It is widely recognized that technology in all its forms, is an important and integral element of the solution, but industry and wider society also view technology as being part of the problem. Increasingly, researchers are referencing the importance of responsible digitalization to eliminate the significant levels of e-waste. The reality is that technology is an integral component of the global efforts to get to net zero, however, its adoption requires pragmatic tradeoffs as we transition from current behaviors to a more climate friendly society.

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
This editorial reflects on COP26 and asks whether digital technologies and information management are part of the climate problem or the solution, concluding that technology is an integral part of net-zero efforts but also a significant part of the problem. It synthesizes a literature review and 28 invited expert contributions to argue for responsible digitalization, education, policy, and a broader IS research agenda.
Key findings
- The IS/IT sector has substantial negative environmental impacts: data centers contribute approximately 2% of global GHG emissions, on par with aviation; the world produces about 50 million tonnes of e-waste, with only 20% dealt with sustainably; Bitcoin alone has a carbon footprint of 34.73 Mt CO2, consumes 73.12 TWh, and produces 10.95 kt of e-waste; ICT networks could use about 20% of the world’s electricity by 2025; ICT impact estimates range from 1.4% to 3.9% of global CO2 emissions.
- Digital technologies also offer mitigation potential: AI-based systems could contribute to a 4% reduction in global emissions by 2030; IT/IS can enable a possible 15% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions through smart grids, smart housing, and smart logistics; Google reported using AI to reduce data center energy consumption by as much as 40%.
- Expert contribution analysis found the most frequent keywords included impact, sustainability, green, environment, and smart; polarity was mostly neutral, but when neutral was ignored, the majority of authors presented a generally positive outlook for digital technology and IS in combating climate change.
- The editorial recommends explicitly including the environment as a key stakeholder, advancing responsible digitalization and corporate digital responsibility, improving e-waste management, and embedding climate and sustainability into IS/IT education and research.
Methods
- Editorial/opinion article combining a background literature review with invited expert perspectives. The literature search used Scopus, combining “information systems” or “information technology” or “IT sector” with “environment,” “sustainability,” “sustainable,” and “climate”; 372 articles remained after filtering, then 88 after title/abstract screening, plus 16 additional articles from ScienceDirect and Web of Science.
- The review was organized around two research questions: whether the digital technology and IS/IT sector negatively impacts the environment and how it can be reduced, and how digital technology and IS/IT can mitigate climate change causes and impacts.
- The paper presents 28 invited expert contributions across themes such as behavior and attitudes, education and changed working practices, impact on people and communities, responsible digitalization, data/technology/IS governance, and technology/IS research agenda. It also reports a systematic analysis of the contributed articles using keyword frequency, text features, word cloud, and polarity/sentiment analysis.
Limitations
- The paper states that expert contributions are largely presented in unedited form and that the perceived unevenness of logical flow is countered by capturing distinctive expert orientations.
- The paper notes that existing discourse has limited contribution from a wider and more informed multiple-perspective context, which this editorial aims to address through individual expert discussions.
- Evident from the text: this is an editorial/opinion synthesis rather than a primary empirical study, and the literature search is limited to selected databases and keyword filtering; the expert contributions are opinion-based and not systematically validated.

The discussion of services management (section 4.8; page unavailable) mentions big-data analysis of tourism images, but not underwater environments or air quality. Searches for “underwater,” “air quality,” and “image mining” found no passage linking AI and big-data analytics to image mining for either claimed management application. (LLM, conf=0.73)
- Supportedcites Nair et al., 2021 source
The Introduction describes big-data analytics and image mining as ways to obtain information about underwater environments. Section 6.2 discusses deep-learning techniques for underwater images. The air-quality portion of the sentence is associated with the other citation, not Nair et al. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-10, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-10 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
