Abstract

The Brazilian Computing Society launched a task force to provide guidelines for applying digital technologies to the planet's sustainability. This article summarizes the task force’s final document prepared as part of its weekly meeting activities, which started on the 9th of September 2021, to discuss national and international efforts in the area. The document presents the main challenges in using digital technologies to tackle climate change and proposes actions that both governments and the society could adopt at large.
