Our planet is facing a crucial challenge: the climate emergency

Inuiq supports committed businesses.
Over the past few decades, we have seen an unprecedented surge in global temperatures, with devastating consequences for the environment and for society.

Digital sobriety is a strong commitment to the protection of our planet and its biodiversity.

• Combustion of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas
• Intensive industrial production
• Use of motor vehicles powered by fossil fuels
• Intensive breeding
• Fertilization practices in the agricultural sector
• Deforestation
• Insufficient waste management
• Uncontrolled heating and cooling in indoor environments

Internet and digital technologies

Digital accessibility innovation involves developing new technological and methodological solutions to ensure that all users, including people with disabilities, can access digital information and services equally and effectively.
‍
Several factors related to the use of digital technology are responsible for this increase:

• Mass production of computers, smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices
  ‍Extracting the materials and natural resources needed to manufacture these electronic devices requires the opening of mines and intensive extraction practices, with significant environmental and social implications.
• Installation and operation of global data centers
  ‍Data centers house servers and internet infrastructures, which are essential for maintaining digital life, powering social media, video streaming, corporate and financial data. These structures are very energy-intensive, in particular because of the air or water cooling systems necessary for their proper functioning, which has a significant environmental impact.
• Expansion of communication networks, with their repeaters and antennas
  ‍These networks are critical to ensuring global connectivity and access to the Internet. The energy consumption associated with these infrastructures is constantly increasing and is proportional to the quantity of data transmitted.
• Using the Internet for video streaming
  ‍This activity is one of the most energy-intensive due to the large amount of data transmitted. Every time we watch a video online, our device (smartphone, computer, smart TV) needs to download and display a constant flow of information. This requires power, both for the device itself and for the entire network infrastructure (from servers to repeaters, to the home connection).
