Digital carbon footprint of the ICT sector
In addition to content traditionally delivered through electronic channels, the media sector is increasingly turning to web-based solutions, which are becoming more energy-intensive and carbon footprint-intensive. How does the regulator see the extent of this and how can it be optimised and how can it be done in the future?

Lecturer:
Gergely Tóth-Császár

Real-time control of the digital carbon footprint
The pace of news production also requires the associated digital carbon footprint to be managed in real time. How can this be achieved through digital carbon footprint monitoring, which allows for both prevention and ex-post analysis? Case study.

Green enough? Does digital greenwashing exist?
A market analysis published by the Competition and Markets Authority in early 2024 shows that around 40 percent of green claims at EU level are not sufficiently substantiated. What should technology companies look for when communicating sustainability? Does the recent GVH analysis on AI raise environmental concerns? What are the trends and experiences in this area?
