Digital transformation in Brazil's Amazon now has a cost measured

The World Bank has put a number on how much digital tools are costing the Brazilian Amazon. This means we can now track whether technology is helping or hurting the region's development.

This working paper from the World Bank attempts to quantify the economic effects of digital transformation in Brazil's Legal Amazon. It aims to measure the costs and benefits of technology adoption in a region facing significant environmental and social challenges. The findings could inform future development policies and investments in similar ecologically sensitive areas.
