Science Diplomacy for Environment: Global Outlooks and Green Digital Diplomacy as a New Approach in the EU Environmental Policy

The interaction between the environment and the digital world is close. In the international context, environmental sustainability is a working track within the Internet Governance Forum at the UN. Addressing environmental and digital issues together is also demonstrated at a regional level by the policy efforts of the EU and its Green Deal. Firstly, environmental diplomacy is an intersection where policymakers, scientists, and diplomats can jointly elaborate on the complex interplay between technological developments, global societal impacts, and the environmental issues outlined. The environment and digital technologies are critical pillars for humanity’s future, and they are increasingly becoming integrated into global politics and international relations.Environmental diplomacy as a tool for humanity to jointly manage future risk scenarios is highlighted. Secondly, based on a comprehensive description of real political processes, an argumentative analysis model of green digital diplomacy as a new approach in EU environmental diplomacy is developed. Concrete fields of action for the necessary state, civil society, and company-related actions are demonstrated, and specific recommendations for this process are hereby expressed.
