What is the twin transition?

The term “twin transitions” refers to the concurrent green and digital transitions, and to the political objective of uniting the two transitions. However, the digital imaginary may transform environmental governance in the governance of innovation.

Are we putting environmental sustainability on the back burner?

Our project results show that the EU is using the twin transition strategy to obtain a competitive advantage in the digital market. As a (side?) effect, environmental governance is put at the service of a very narrow aspect of sustainability: the sustainability of the new digital sector.
