There are several interpretations. It also defined as 'doubletransition’, which is the symbiosis between the technologicaldigital transition and the environmental one. (VGen).

The idea that the transition to a green and digital future mustgo hand in hand, commonly referred to as the “twin transitions”
was the central discussion in Technology Foresight Forum on“Smart energy systems and networks” held by OECD
in May 2022 (Fanlafone & Caira, 2022).
The European Commission considers the twin transition, acombination of green and digital transition, as crucial for
reducing GHG emissions and reaching a climate-neutral EUby 2050 (Paiho, 2023)“The decisive decade forclimate action, digitization
has a major role to play insupporting sustainablegrowth. Indeed, digitalsolutions could reduce
global emissions by 20%,
according to the World
Economic Forum.”.
