dct:description(Statement) Every solution must support sustainability. The sourcing, operation and decommissioning of IT equipment should not indirectly or directly negatively environmental aspects.
dct:description(Rationale) Climate change is one of society's challenges for the upcoming decades, and public administrations should be aware of it and consider it when planning or implementing digital public services. Therefore, administrations and bodies in charge of developing public services need to consider the proper agreements that allow the reusing of existing services components and infrastructure to ensure the reduction of the environmental impact.
dct:description(Implications) Public Administrations should prioritise the reuse of existing physical and cloud infrastructures to minimise environmental impact. Solutions must be designed for maximum energy efficiency, reducing power consumption and carbon footprint. Managing the entire lifecycle of IT equipment, from procurement to disposal, with sustainability in mind, including proper recycling, is crucial. Preference should be given to technologies with recognised green certifications. Implementing systems to monitor and report on environmental impact ensures ongoing compliance with sustainability goals.
