Connect DPG to "Digital Sustainability" standard and criteria (and vice versa)

[MarkusTiede]

We've (mainly via the IPST @ Bern University of Applied Sciences & CH Open) been driving the concept of Digital Sustainability for many years (since 2016) now (primarily in Switzerland).

We put our primary efforts into

• research of the academic foundation of the concept
• bringing the concept to the general public via articles & scientific publications, conference (https://dinacon.ch - started in 2017) and even awards ceremonies for various projects, smaller events & meetups
• establishing channels in politics

It's great to see that there is now an international initiative with major alignment to the general SDGs with the DPG alliance. We'd be glad getting in contact to connect the DPG / DPG Alliance to e.g. build a coherent framework of the two (very similar) approaches.

Really looking forward to hearing from you 🙋‍♂️

Hi @MarkusTiede

We will be considering this in indicator 8. Standards and Best Practices of the DPG Standard and add any relevant digital sustainability practices into our curated list of recommended best practices.

Happy to connect and chat further.
