Navigating Environmental Governance: The Role of Emerging Technologies in Addressing Biodiversity, Climate Change, and Resource Depletion
In what ways do new and emerging technologies help us address environmental governance challenges such as biodiversity loss, climate change, pollution, epidemiology and ecosystem health, and resource depletion?
This article focuses on the next generation of technology and its interaction with the human environment, encouraging innovative solutions for the most pressing problems that society faces.

There are also positive and potentially negative impacts of implementing this technology on human communities and nature, and we unpack various themes of the tech-society-ecology interface, reflecting on the intensification of digitalized environmental governance, “technocratisation” and the ethical implications of sacrificing democratic legitimacy in the face of imminent environmental destruction.
Lastly, questions around the role Indigenous and local communities play in the process of technological governance are also addressed, emphasizing multi-stakeholder collaborations in digitized environmental governance.
