Governments in developing countries play a crucial role in managing the environmental impact of the digital economy. As digital technologies like AI and cryptocurrency drive global growth, they also lead to increased energy consumption and electronic waste.
Governments are responsible for creating and enforcing digital policies that promote sustainable practices, such as renewable energy use and effective e-waste management. By addressing these environmental challenges, governments can ensure that the benefits of the digital economy contribute to long-term, inclusive development and protect their natural resources for future generations.
