Concordia University has signed the Montreal Statement on Sustainability in the Digital Age, a document that argues that achieving a climate-safe and equitable future requires inclusive and trusted digital technologies. The statement calls for five specific actions, including building a new social contract for the digital age, ensuring open and transparent access to data and knowledge on sustainability and equity, and promoting research and innovation that will steer digital transformations toward sustainability and equity. “This work can play a key role in ensuring a digital future that is both informed by, and continuously advancing sustainable principles,” said Concordia President Graham Carr. “The Statement is a consolidation of this vision and a welcome call for transformative action now.”
