            Abstract : 
The “Computing for the Future of the Planet” project is aimed at the intersection of computing and sustainability. An update on progress in the four main areas will be given: an optimal digital infrastructure, sensing and optimising with a global world model, reliably predicting and reacting to the environment, and digital alternatives to physical activities. Practical industrial examples will be presented in addition to longer term research goals.
