Developing digital solutions and building infrastructu= res that prioritize values like openness, equality, and democratic control = calls for a shift in funding. This can help make sure that the services we = use and rely on can be held accountable to the public. Public Digital Infrastructure needs to be built not only with digital right= s but also with ecological sustainability in mind. Such a holistic approach= must take into account the material underpinnings of digital technologies,= including the overall environmental impact of how all materials and energy= are developed, used, discarded or recycled. Public funding is needed to ensure the creation and maintenance of essentia= l, underlying technological building blocks. These, in turn, can be used to= create new, reliable digital tools and services, such as public media serv= ices, educational tools, or civic solutions for local communities. The next= European Commission will have the opportunity to deliver results on these = insights by launching a European Public Digital Infrastructure Fund [ https= ://substack.com/redirect/8e5466c2-2e39-4aeb-8bcb-1576d5496bb0?j=3DeyJ1Ijoia= W01cyJ9.5mEA0Np_WqYzGM1tcYoS8WoWXvSk0J9xJdywxa3hbmc ].
