Statement: Every solution must support sustainability. The sourcing, operation and decommissioning of IT equipment should not indirectly or directly negatively affect economic, social and environmental aspects.
Rationale:
Climate change is one of society's challenges for the upcoming decades, and public administrations shall be aware of and consider it when planning or implementing digital public services. Therefore, administrations and bodies in charge of developing public services according to public policies, need to consider the proper agreements that allow the reusing of existing services components and infrastructure to reduce the Carbon-dioxide e-footprint impact.
Implications:
Public Administrations need to reuse mainly physical or cloud existing infrastructures instead of creating ad-hoc technology and resources for delivering public services. Not only infrastructure but also technological equipment.
