Hi everyone,

Earlier this year, I began the endeavor to build bridges between the Internet governance / infrastructure community(ies) and the sustainable ICT academic and research community. In many ways, current Internet technology is not sustainable. This relates to overall lack of design consideration of ICTs for sustainability (such as recycling or energy scaling), and includes issues such as pollution, electronic waste (e-waste), and energy use.

Dr. Mike Hazas was one of the first people who inspired me to do more work in this field, and he was the keynote speaker at a EuroDIG roundtable workshop on sustainable Internet access held in June. After the session, he connected with members of RIPE NCC's external relations team who encouraged him to apply for one of the academic fellowships (RACI) to attend RIPE 75 in Dubai, and I am delighted to share his presentation and lecture:

I encourage everyone to continue to consider sustainability in all of its forms going forward, and encourage discussions around this topic. I also CCd him in case anyone would like to raise a comment or question.

Thank you,
-Michael
