MENYELAMATKAN BUMI SATU HISTORY GADGET PADA WAKTUNYA: PERAN GENERASI MUDA DALAM MENGURANGI DIGITAL CARBON FOOTPRINT GUNA MENCAPAI NET ZERO EMISSION

Admin SDGS — Mon, 03 Jun 2024 02:24:35 +0000

Bagaimana bangsa Indonesia dapat optimal jika masyarakat Indonesia sendirilah yang membunuh cita-cita Indonesia untuk mencapai Net Zero Emission (NZE)? Net Zero Emission (NZE) merupakan kondisi dimana jumlah emisi karbon yang dilepaskan ke atmosfer tidak melebihi jumlah emisi yang mampu diserap oleh bumi (Kementerian ESDM Republik Indonesia, 2022). Istilah NZE sendiri populer ketika diadakannya Paris Agreement 2015–Perjanjian global yang dihadiri oleh 55 negara untuk menghadapi perubahan iklim.

Berdasarkan laporan Global Carbon Project tahun 2023, Indonesia termasuk dalam daftar 10 negara penghasil emisi karbon terbesar di dunia dengan mencapai angka 700 ribu ton per tahun. Disisi lain, Menurut data European Commission, volume emisi gas rumah kaca Indonesia pada 2022 mencapai 1,24 gigaton setara dengan karbon dioksida (Gt CO2e), atau sekitar 2,3% dari total emisi gas rumah kaca global.

Menindaklanjuti data diatas, tanpa kita sadari, menyimpan data berlebihan tanpa menghapus data yang tidak diperlukan dapat meningkatkan emisi karbon dan memberikan efek buruk bagi lingkungan–hal ini disebut sebagai Digital Carbon Footprint. Realitanya, generasi muda yang sering menggunakan Tiktok, Instagram, dan Google masih abai dengan riwayat data yang menumpuk pada aplikasi mereka. Seorang ilmuwan dan profesor berkelahiran Inggris bernama Mike Berners-Lee dalam penelitian Ovo Energy menyatakan bahwa satu buah email dapat menyumbangkan estimasi sekitar 4 gram emisi karbon. Apabila email tersebut disertai dengan lampiran seperti foto, maka besaran emisi karbon yang dihasilkan bisa lebih besar, yakni mencapai 50 gram. Bagaimana jika kita berasumsi bahwa 278,7 juta jiwa populasi di Indonesia mengirimkan setidaknya satu email atau data di waktu bersamaan? Apa yang terjadi jika hal tersebut dilakukan berulang kali, akan ada berapa banyak total emisi karbon digital yang dihasilkan di Indonesia?

Melihat data dan fenomena di atas, apakah kita sebagai generasi muda akan berdiam diri dan menunggu emisi karbon tersebut semakin menghancurkan masa depan? Kesadaran bahwa pentingnya mencapai Net Zero Emission (NZE) harus dapat ditanamkan dalam setiap individu dan dukungan masyarakat dalam mengurangi emisi karbon, mempromosikan energi terbarukan, serta mengubah budaya menyimpan history data pada gadget akan memainkan peran kunci dalam mencapai tujuan Net Zero Emission. Sebagai bagian dari generasi muda dan Mahasiswa Universitas Airlangga, kita harus berupaya untuk mengurangi Digital Carbon Footprint dimulai dari langkah sederhana yakni menghapus 20-30 email dan data digital yang tidak penting setiap harinya agar energi penyimpanan di perusahaan teknologi berkurang. Selain itu, upaya preventif dengan cara memberikan pengetahuan dan imbauan mengenai bahaya Digital Carbon Footprint kepada lingkungan universitas, keluarga, maupun masyarakat dapat memberikan kontribusi kepada Indonesia untuk mencapai Net Zero Emission (NZE) pada tahun 2050.
