Günümüzde küresel iklim krizi çerçevesinde sahip olduğumuz kaynakların korunmasına dayanan sürdürülebilirlik gün geçtikçe önem kazanmaktadır. Endüstri devrimi ile birlikte bireylerin günlük hayatlarının teknolojiye entegre bir vaziyet aldığını görmekteyiz. İletişimden ekonomiye, eğitimden politikalara kadar toplumun tüm kurumlarının teknoloji ve ağa bağlı hale geldiği görülmektedir. Böylece gün geçtikçe artan dijitalleşme ile sürdürülebilirlik kavramları birbiri ile anılmaya başlanmıştır. Makalede iki kavram arasındaki ilişki toplumsal ve çevresel bağlamda ele alınarak olumlu ve olumsuz tarafları analiz edilecektir. Bu çalışma, dijitalleşme ve sürdürülebilirlik arasındaki ilişkide toplumsal etkileri ele alarak, israf kültürü ile yeşil bilinç arasındaki çatışmayı anlamayı ve değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma, dijital teknolojilerin çevresel fayda sağlama potansiyelini buna karşın e-atık gibi çevresel tehditleri nasıl etkilediğini inceleyerek bu ikilemden doğan toplumsal sonuçları ortaya koymayı hedeflemektedir. Böylece araştırmada dijitalleşme, sürdürülebilirlik hedefleri doğrultusunda çevresel faydalar sağlıyor mu yoksa israf kültürünü tetikleyerek e-atık krizini mi derinleştiriyor temel sorusu yanıtlanmaya çalışılacaktır. Araştırmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden literatür taraması yapılacaktır. Sonuç olarak dijitalleşme ve yeşil bilinç arasında denge kurulmasına yönelik farkındalığa dikkat çekilerek sürdürülebilir dijital teknolojilerin gelecekteki potansiyeli üzerine çıkarımlar yapılacaktır.

Sustainability, which is based on the protection of the resources we have within the framework of the global climate crisis, is gaining importance day by day. With the industrial revolution, we see that the daily lives of individuals have become integrated with technology. It is seen that all institutions of society, from communication to economy, from education to politics, have become connected to technology and networks. Thus, the concepts of increasing digitalization and sustainability have become synonymous with each other. In this article, the relationship between the two concepts will be analyzed in a social and environmental context, and their positive and negative aspects will be discussed. This study aims to understand and evaluate the conflict between wasteful culture and green consciousness by addressing the societal implications in the relationship between digitalization and sustainability. By examining how digital technologies have the potential to provide environmental benefits but also how they affect environmental threats such as e-waste, the study aims to reveal the societal consequences arising from this dilemma. Thus, the main question of the research will be tried to be answered whether digitalization provides environmental benefits in line with sustainability goals or deepens the e-waste crisis by triggering a culture of waste. In the research, a literature review will be conducted from qualitative research methods. As a result, inferences will be made on the future potential of sustainable digital technologies by drawing attention to the awareness of the balance between digitalization and green consciousness.
