A Computer Science Perspective on Digital Sustainability: a Thematic Literature Review

This paper explores the evolving concept of digital sustainability, emphasizing its growing importance as digital technologies become essential to addressing global sustainability challenges. Through a thematic literature review focused on computer science, we analyze papers from Scopus-indexed journals to identify key themes in the discourse on digital sustainability. Additionally, we map the identified topics to the traditional three-pillar model of sustainable development, noting areas of alignment and divergence. The study offers insights into how digital sustainability is framed within the computer science literature and its implications for future research.
