Mountain Research and Development Journal has a call for papers for their next issue. The full paper is due on July 1st, 2022. This focus issue will highlight how the development and applications of digital and digitalized technologies can open up inclusive and sustainable ways of overcoming development challenges of mountain societies and ecosystems.
Digitalization is profoundly affecting people, societies, and the environment (WBGU 2019). If digitalization is shaped in a way that spurs progress on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), it can offer great potential for transforming mountain social–ecological systems toward greater sustainability, while preventing potential negative social, societal, and environmental impacts. However, the links between digitalization and sustainable development have not received sufficient attention from research and development communities. Indeed, the United Nations 2030 Agenda does not explicitly address the benefits and challenges of novel information and communications technology (ICT) for sustainable futures.
