dc.description.abstractWe are living in unprecedented times, both as regards the environment and digitalisation. Record floods, extreme heat, melting glaciers, and raging wildfires – they are all indicators that global warming is a real phenomenon that we cannot further ignore if we want our planet and its population to thrive.1 At the same time, digitalisation is no longer an abstract concept, as it increasingly pervades our societies, cultures and markets. Reacting to these intersecting realities, the EU has recently re-centred its entire economic strategy on two pillars: environmental sustainability and digitalisation.2 In addition to the seventeen Sustainable Development Goals promoted by the United Nations,3 the EU is implementing an ambitious Green Deal that will touch upon every policy within the Union.4 While a broad range of policies need to be implemented and updated to match the challenges of real-world developments, competition law is one area that must play its part in achieving the objectives of digitalising and greening the economy and society at large. At the same time, competition law can only be one of the puzzle pieces when it comes to achieving a green and digital economy and should be understood as a complement to environmental and digital policies.en
