Abstract Various nations have committed to achieving carbon neutrality objectives in response to the worldwide concern over climate change. In the academic world, carbon footprint (CF) analysis has become increasingly popular as a crucial research technique for assessing carbon emissions. This study attempts to provide a thorough overview of this field of study, filling in any gaps using bibliometric analysis. Many organizations switched to cloud computing and storage at the beginning of the digital era in an effort to lessen carbon footprints and support green environments, however this led to an increase in the “Digital Carbon Footprint”. The study identifies a number of factors that lead to an expanded “Digital Carbon Footprint”, Such as, Social Media marketing, cloud computing, digital libraries, online shopping, smart cities and many more. “Digital Carbon Footprint” is a phenomenon that has been observed at both the individual and organizational levels. The study has also offered remedies to the “Digital Carbon Footprint” problem after reviewing an array of research articles authored by authors all across the world. The study additionally discovered an array of nations and organizations that are actively attempting to raise consciousness about environmental degradation and have provided financial assistance to motivate authors to publish works about it. The study demonstrates how the advent of digitalization has altered the landscape and the trends throughout time regarding the growth of the “Digital Carbon Footprint”. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.
