🌐The book reflects on the main drivers of poverty in the digital age, 
analyzing the interaction between recovery and environmental threats, 
and exploring the educational potential of the post-COVID era for 
sustainable and efficient technology use in everyday life.

🔍Our book introduces the concept of Digital-Environmental Poverty, 
capturing the multidimensionality of poverty with three foundational 
pillars: social, digital, and environmental poverty.

Key Points Explored in the Book:

Building on the Digital Poverty Framework established by the Digital 
Poverty Alliance (2022), we elaborate on key factors contributing to 
digital poverty, including its environmental dimension.

- How digital, socioeconomic, and environmental factors intersect to 
shape poverty.

- The role of structural environmental conditions and the importance of 
policies to reduce the digital footprint and enhance digital sustainability.

- Viewing poverty through the lenses of digital technological access and 
usage, and the quality of the natural environment.

- How understanding Digital-Environmental Poverty can support policies 
that improve digital life/health, reduce pressure on health and 
environmental systems, boost the economy, and protect the environment, 
lowering healthcare costs.

The book is divided into three sections:

1) Conceptualizing poverty's multidimensionality and its evolution in 
the digital age.

2) Focusing specifically on the environmental aspects of poverty.

3) Case Studies: Illustrating the interrelated nature of social, 
digital, and environmental poverty, and providing recommendations for 
anticipating and reducing the risk of digital-environmental poverty.

We hope this book inspires meaningful conversations and actionable 
solutions for a more equitable and sustainable future🌍📖
