By reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions associated with data storage and processing, organizations can contribute to a more sustainable data infrastructure. Additionally, adopting data preservation strategies, such as long-term archiving and data lifecycle management, ensures the availability and usability of valuable data resources for future research and innovation. Additional information: Sustainability in data sharing involves adopting practices that prioritize the preservation and efficient utilization of data resources. This principle encourages organizations to consider the environmental impact of their data sharing activities, such as minimizing energy consumption, reducing carbon emissions, and promoting the use of renewable energy sources. It also emphasizes the importance of long-term data preservation, ensuring that data remains accessible and usable for future generations. By integrating sustainability into data sharing practices, organizations can contribute to a more environmentally conscious and resilient digital ecosystem.
