On 11 November 2021 at 09:00 - 11:30 UTC | 10:00 - 12:30 CET, a two-hour webinar on "Environmentally sustainable digital preservation" took place online (timed to coincide with COP26 in Glasgow), organised by the Digital Preservation Coalition.
The project coordinator of ARCHIVER, João Fernandes, from CERN participated in the discussion with a contribution on Archiving and Preservation for Research: Environmental Considerations
The webinar consisted of a set of short case studies from a range of organizations that are taking steps to respond to this urgent global challenge, including a reflection on how the DPC itself is engaging with the issue of environmental sustainability.
The aim of the webinar was explore how a range of digital preservation practitioners are addressing the issue, in particular how considerations around environmental sustainability are being incorporated into decision making and ‘business as usual' activities.
