The design and deployment of
data-driven systems for net zero should be
inclusive and grounded in engagement with
all stakeholders and communities affected
by their use. These systems should be
developed and applied in a way that allows
contestation, meaning that it is possible to
challenge and verify their output because they
are transparent and explainable for example.

Substantive public engagement can contribute
to better decision-making and create more
socially robust scientific and technological
solutions. Technological developments
and dialogue will need to happen in parallel,
in a way that ensures risks and benefits are
shared across society. As digital technologies
accelerate the transformation of sectors
towards net zero, in-depth research and
dialogue will be necessary to ensure the
transformation works for everyone.

Resilience – the ability to function, adapt,
grow, learn and transform under stress or in
the face of shocks – will help organisations
deliver systems that are reliable and secure.
Resilient organisations can better protect their
customers, provide more useful products
and services, and earn people’s trust – this
requires secure and trustworthy digital
systems.
As critical infrastructure for the
planet, computing must be resilient to a
range of shocks and stresses, and be able to
adapt and transform to longer term risks and
opportunities.
There are also risk multipliers if interconnected
systems are all reliant on one underlying piece
of communications infrastructure. If smart
homes with heat pumps and electric vehicle
chargers all rely on the internet to operate,
households could potentially be without
heating or mobility if there are internet issues.
