Human societies face the dual challenges of digital and green transitions. While technology promises progress, it also introduces ethical issues, particularly with AI, and accelerates digitalization's impact on climate change. Generative AI's rapid rise is outpacing regulatory adaptations, and the digital economy's extractive model and e-waste undermine sustainable development. Education systems must foster human-centered mindsets and digital competencies to align these transitions, ensuring technology supports sustainable and ethical goals. UNESCO's 2024 Digital Learning Week aims to explore the linkages between these two transitions to promote the responsible use of digital technology in education.
