14. 信息和通信技术(信通技术)以及数字技术对可持续性和环境具有重大影响，COVID-19 大流行时期所有行业加快了数字技术应用，因此在大流行之后的时代两种技术的重要性将进一步显现。21 这一加速在带来可持续性的同时产生了诸如电子垃圾和能源消耗增加的环境后果，阻碍了全球实现可持续发展目标的进展。为采用向循环经济22 模式而实现范式转变，可大大提高信通技术和数字化转型的可持续性。在这方面，标准化是在国际一级实现全球学习和知识共享的重要工具之一。
14. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) and digital technologies have significant impacts on sustainability and the environment and are particularly important in the post-COVID-19 era because the pandemic has accelerated the adoption rate of digital technologies across all sectors. 21 This acceleration has produced sustainability and had environmental consequences such as e-waste and increased energy consumption, which has hampered global progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals. A paradigm shift towards the circular economy 22 model could substantially improve the sustainability of both ICTs and the digital transformation. In this regard, standardization is one of the critical tools that enable global learning and knowledge-sharing at the international level.
