Two Sides of the Same Coin: Navigating the Paradox of Internet Expansion and Sustainable Development
Abstract
The internet accelerates SDGs but also worsens social inequality and environmental degradation. This chapter critically examines internet growth's conflict with sustainable development. It examines the environmental costs and risks of developing digital divisions and the opportunities digital connection offers in education, healthcare, government, and business. Digital maturity is crucial to SDG achievement, but incorporating sustainability in digital policies is tricky. The conversation proposes strategic frameworks for greening digital infrastructures and promoting equitable development. The chapter concludes that ethical governance, transdisciplinary research, and transformative policies are needed to balance technology progress with equity, environmental stewardship, and resilience. A truly sustainable digital future demands addressing this paradox.
