Abstract
Purpose: The aim is to identify the current level of “green” digital technology diffusion in the economy, as well as to develop future scenarios and recommendations to ensure the mass availability of these technologies for an accelerated “green” digital economy.
Design/Methodology/Approach: To identify the mass character of “green” digital technologies, a regression analysis method is used to determine the impact of digital diffusion on the green economy index. Recognizing the significant differences between developed and developing countries in the level of digital dissemination and in the level of environmental responsibility of economic actors, the authors identify the specificities of countries from different categories. Therefore, countries with a very high level of human development, as well as countries with a high and medium level of human development have been selected as targets for the research according to the UNDP classification.
Findings: It is shown that in the modern world economy “green” digital technologies are only gaining popularity and are not yet mass-produced. The main ones are mobile broadband, Internet and robots. The only mass “green” digital technology is robots, and only in countries with high and medium levels of human development.
Originality/Value: Scenario analysis has shown that there are opportunities for mass digitalization of “green” technologies in the future. But this requires a shift in the conceptual approach to managing “green” digital economy technologies. Instead of fragmented technology development, there is a need for systemic development that not only significantly increases the level of the green digital economy in very high (from 0.62 in 2019 to 0.84) and high and medium human development countries (from 0.51 to 0.75), but also reduces the gap between them, thus contributing to a balanced global “green” digital economy.
