In this episode Christoph Schneider (https://twitter.com/christoph_schn) covers the topics:

Digital technologies as key sites and forces for societal changes - any project for a more democratic and sustainable society and economy must have a vision of how to entwine these technologies with other changes.

Sustainability aspects of digital technologies:
On the one hand they pose a huge problem for sustainability, boosting resource and energy consumption and providing powerful tools for accelerating economic growth. On the other hand, some digital systems could be foundational for more democratic and sustainable ways of organising the economy.

Digital politics as infrastructural politics - thus contributing to the core agenda of GNDE of changing energy, mobility and financial infrastructures and helping to widen the coalition, as a politics for more sustainable and democratic digital technologies is not only good for the climate but helps to protect and enhance civic liberties and human rights.
