Naturally Digital: Coaching - Research - Consultancy
A new normal on digital awareness, human online behavior, and digital sustainability.
The four elements
Researcher in Online Human Behavior
The socio-environmental analysis and impact of digitalization is one of my primary research areas and specialism.
In July 2024, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) published The Digital Economy Report 2024: Shaping an Environmentally Sustainable Future. I had the opportunity to contribute as a consultant and researcher to this landmark United Nations report. DER 2024 represents a significant stance by the UN on the socio-environmental impact of digitalization.
In 2021, I published my book Depredadores Digitales: Una Historia de la Huella de Carbono de la Industria Digital (Círculo Rojo, Spain). This independent, in-depth investigation explores the complexities of digital environmental impact, including water footprint, CO2 emissions, electronic waste (E-waste), and behavioral changes.
I regularly collaborate with various NGOs, media outlets, and platforms across Latin America and Europe. Some of these include Mongabay (Latin America), Circular IT (the Netherlands), Nationale Coalitie Duurzame Digitalisering (the Netherlands), EcoAmericas, MIKUJY (Sweden), The Institute of Network Cultures (the Netherlands), the Eco-friendly Web Alliance (London), Universidad Fundepós (Costa Rica), La Web Verde (Colombia), INCAE (Costa Rica), La República (Costa Rica), La Nación (Costa Rica), Podcast & Business (Boston, USA), Activist Planet (USA), and Proceso (Mexico).
Through my work, I design courses, programs, webinars, workshops, and conferences to educate on the impact of our digital consumption, both at the personal and environmental levels.
Digital Ethical Advice
With my background and expertise in Digital Sustainability, the socio-environmental consequences of the digital economy, Philosophy, and Holistic Transformation Processes, I assist in the development of ethical digital strategies and approaches.
To design effective and ethical digital strategies, I begin by deeply exploring the moral values of both the client and their target audience. These values are then established as the foundational pillars of the strategy, empowering organizations and companies with a distinctive and principled identity.
At its core, digital ethics revolves around moral values, with transparency and empathy serving as the driving forces of meaningful disruption. In a rapidly evolving digital landscape, the integration of ethical principles is not just a competitive advantage but a responsibility that defines the integrity and long-term success of an organization.
Sustainable Digital Transformation
Sustainable digital transformation implies having full knowledge and mastery over the externalities and footprints (hydric, CO2, residual, behavioral) that the corporate digital model and strategy is generating.
The client assumes his social responsibility on it, making it public for the knowledge of everyone.
This new consolidated approach is known as Corporate Digital Responsibility (CDR), a fundamental axis for Digital Transformation processes.
Coaching & Digital Wellbeing
In individual sessions (offline and online) or through programs for companies and organizations, I explore with my client their relationship and interaction with digital environments, how it is affecting them and how they could introduce changes that empower them about technology.
The holistic methodology that I use allows the client to find the answers they are looking for.
Facilitating sustainable digital behavior is the core of my work.
UNCTAD: Shaping an Environmentally Sustainable Future.
United Nations Trade and Development.
As a consultant and researcher, I had work int the development of the report, The Digital Economy Report 2024: Shaping an Environmentally Sustainable and Inclusive Digital Future.
This report, a collective effort by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), addresses the challenges and opportunities of the global digital economy. It is the product of a thorough and reflective process that has engaged experts and researchers from various disciplines.
UNCTAD provides an ethical analysis with a critical approach to the consequences of the digital economy.
While acknowledging the benefits in terms of wealth generation and the creation of global opportunities, the report also highlights the negative externalities, particularly the socio-environmental impact.
Previous editions of the Digital Economy Report have focused on the implications of digitalization for inclusive development, the importance of bridging digital and data gaps, value creation in developing countries, and improving governance of data and digital platforms.
The 2024 edition builds on these foundations by integrating a heightened awareness of sustainability and ethical considerations in the digital age.
